Cameroon celebrates a groundbreaking achievement with the arrival of over 330,000 doses of a novel malaria vaccine—the first-ever endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Health Minister Manaouda Malachie marked this occasion as a historic moment for the nation.
The RTS,S vaccine, already in distribution in Kenya, Ghana, and Malawi, requires administration in four doses.
The upcoming weeks will witness deliveries reaching Burkina Faso, Liberia, Niger, and Sierra Leone, signifying a crucial step in the fight against malaria.
It’s essential to note that Africa bears the brunt of malaria cases globally, with over 600,000 annual fatalities, a significant proportion being children.
The initiation of vaccine distribution not only marks a historic moment for Cameroon but also presents a beacon of hope in the broader effort to combat malaria on the African continent.
