New Malaria Vaccine Launched in Nigeria

Nigeria, facing the world's highest malaria death toll, has begun a significant vaccine rollout program.

The new R21/Matrix-M vaccine, approved by the WHO, offers 75% effectiveness against this deadly disease.

Initially deployed in Bayelsa and Kebbi states, the vaccination campaign aims to protect children aged five to fifteen months.

Alongside the vaccine, health officials strongly promote existing malaria prevention methods like mosquito nets and insecticides.
