Malaria Vaccines Arriving in Nigeria: A Major Step Forward
Nigeria is set to receive its first shipment of malaria vaccines today, marking a crucial moment in the country’s battle against malaria.
The vaccines, RTS,S/AS01 (Mosquirix), are expected to be delivered in Abuja, with the aim of reducing malaria cases and deaths, particularly among children.
This delivery is part of a broader World Health Organization initiative to support high-burden African countries.
The Nigerian government has developed a strategic distribution plan to target regions most affected by malaria, especially in rural areas.
