About this episode
Malaria kills more than 600,000 people around the world every year. But this week, Cameroon became the first country to start a mass rollout of the world’s first ever malaria vaccine – the WHO-approved RTS,S vaccine.
It is hoped that other countries will follow, in a move projected to save thousands of children's lives across Africa.
But will vaccine hesitancy stop parents having their children vaccinated?
On today’s Africa Daily podcast, Alan Kasujja talks to Professor Rose Leke, an internationally acclaimed Malaria expert who’s studied the disease for decades.
