Quick Glance: Cameroon's Landmark Initiative: Malaria Vaccination for Kids
  • Cameroon is launching the world's first malaria vaccination program for children, aiming to vaccinate approximately 250,000 kids this year and next.

  • The campaign's commencement is deemed a pivotal moment in the long-standing battle against the mosquito-borne disease on the continent.

  • Gavi is collaborating with 20 other African nations to assist in vaccine procurement, with hopes of immunizing over 6 million children in these countries by 2025.

  • Neither of the malaria vaccines halts transmission, thus emphasizing the continued significance of tools such as bed nets and insecticidal spraying.
