Just over a year ago, Cameroon became the first country to introduce the revolutionary new malaria vaccine into its childhood immunisation programme, provided to children free of charge across the country.
A new Gavi Insight Paper offers an analysis of the successes and challenges faced in delivering these vaccines in the months since, and what Gavi is doing to increase access to these life-savers. Here are four key points from this paper.
- The potential of malaria vaccines
- Vaccines need to be part of a cohesive antimalaria strategy
- Rolling out the malaria vaccine – the highs and lows
- Investment is urgently needed
