Uganda has taken a major step in the fight against malaria. Starting this April, the malaria vaccine will be introduced for children aged 6 to 11 months.

This initiative comes in response to the fact that approximately 10 children die every day from malaria, and it aims to protect future generations from this deadly disease.
