This paper analyzes recent infectious disease outbreaks in Angola’s history, relevant vaccines, sources of governmental and external funding for healthcare, and infrastructural and policy challenges tied to the distribution of vaccines. Key policy changes include improved vital documentation, school-based immunization programs, and in-service training for healthcare workers, while the primary suggested infrastructural change is the use of controlled temperature chain storage rather than traditional cold chain storage during immunization activities.
