Global Dispatches -- World News That Matters
News:Politics
On January 25th, a milestone was reached in humanity's long fight against Malaria. For this first time ever, a Malaria vaccine was included in a country's routine childhood vaccinations program. Cameroon rolled out a new malaria vaccine for children and other countries will soon follow. This comes after years of successful trials in Kenya, Ghana and Malawi which demonstrated the vaccine to be safe and effective in preventing Malaria deaths among children.
Joining me to put this milestone in context is Margaret McDonnell, Executive Director of United to Beat Malaria, a global grassroots campaign of the United Nations Foundation. We kick off discussing the burden of Malaria around the world and have a broader conversation about how this new vaccine fits into global efforts to rid humanity, once and for all, of the burden of Malaria.
