Delayed malaria vaccine rollout a costly gamble
A nurse prepares a shot during the launch of the extension of the world’s first malaria vaccine (RTS, S) pilot program for children at risk of malaria illness and death within Kenya’s lake-endemic region at Kimogoi Dispensary in Gisambai on March 7, 2023.
Malaria remains one of Kenya’s greatest public health challenges, with children under five bearing the heaviest burden.
The country has been at the forefront of malaria vaccine trials and was among the first three African nations to pilot the RTS,S vaccine under the Malaria Vaccine Implementation Programme.
