Introduction of Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics:
The Egyptian Organization for Biological Products and Vaccines (VACSERA) is considered one of the main research centres in Egypt and the Middle East area for the production of vaccines, sera and biological products. VACSERA has current manufacturing facilities for oral poliovaccine, bacille Calmett_Guérin, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, albumin, γ-globulins and other vaccines, blood components and & fractions. The main responsibilities of VACSERA are to serve the government and the trade sector requirements regarding vaccines, sera and biological products, through local production and/or importation.
