The start of the vaccination campaign on January 22 marks a significant milestone in Africa's efforts to combat malaria, which is responsible for 95% of the world's malaria-related deaths on the continent.
Cameroon aims to vaccinate approximately 250,000 children in the current year and the following year as part of its efforts to combat malaria. The country's initiative aligns with broader efforts across Africa to immunize millions of children against the disease.
Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Africa, with approximately 250 million cases reported annually, resulting in around 600,000 deaths, predominantly among young children.
The vaccination campaign represents a crucial step towards addressing this ongoing health crisis and saving lives in the affected regions.
