Exciting news ahead of #WorldMalariaDay! Today, Uganda becomes the 19th African Union member state to introduce the #R21/Matrix-M #malaria vaccine into routine immunisation. Launched in Apac District, which has the highest number of mosquito bites per person globally, this marks the largest #malaria vaccine roll-out to date in both geographic scope and population targeted. The vaccine will reach 1.1 million children under two in 105 high and moderate transmission districts across Uganda. This initiative is a game-changer in preventing severe malaria, reducing the financial burden on families (saving approx. UGX 15,000/ $4 per case), and alleviating Uganda's malaria burden, which remains a leading cause of illness and death.
