Malaria, a preventable mosquito-borne disease, kills 600,000 people annually in Africa, most of them are children under five. Nigeria accounts for 30% of these deaths globally. This week, the country started administering the R21 malaria vaccine to children aged 5 to 11 months, beginning in Bayelsa and Kebbi states, which have high infection rates. Developed by Oxford University and manufactured in India, the vaccine has 75% efficacy. With 1 million doses donated by Gavi, the campaign is expected to expand nationwide by 2025. In today's episode Alan Kasujja speaks to the BBC's Health reporter Makuochi Okafor who was in Bayelsa this week and Professor Halidou Tinto, who helped to test the vaccine in Burkina Faso. Presenter: Alan Kasujja. Guests: Makouchi Okafor, Halidou Tinto

Health workers in Ivory Coast have launched the country's first child vaccination program against malaria.科特迪瓦的卫生工作者启动了该国首个针对疟疾的儿童疫苗接种项目。The effort aims to reduce cases of the mosquito-spread disease, which has become one of Africa's biggest killers.这一努力旨在减少这种由蚊子传播的疾病的病例,这种疾病已经成为非洲最大的杀手之一。Officials in the West African nation said the program is designed to cover about 250,000 children under the age of two. The three-shot vaccine was developed by Britain's Oxford University. The World Health Organization (WHO) approved the vaccine last October.西非国家的官员表示,该计划旨在覆盖大约25万名两岁以下的儿童。这种三针疫苗由英国牛津大学开发。世界卫生组织(WHO)于去年十月批准了该疫苗。Research has shown the vaccine to be more than 75 percent effective at preventing severe disease and death during the first year. A second shot, called a booster, aims to extend the protection for at least another year.研究表明,该疫苗在第一年内预防重症和死亡的有效率超过75%。第二针称为加强针,旨在将保护期至少延长一年。India's Serum Institute has already made 25 million doses of the Oxford vaccine. It says it plans to make at least 100 million each year. The cost is $4 per dose.印度血清研究所已经生产了2500万剂牛津疫苗。该机构表示,计划每年生产至少1亿剂。每剂的成本为4美元。More than 95 percent of the world's estimated 249 million yearly malaria cases and 608,000 deaths happen in Africa. The disease most often affects children under the age of five, as well as pregnant women.全世界每年估计有2.49亿例疟疾病例和60.8万例死亡,其中超过95%发生在非洲。该疾病最常影响五岁以下的儿童以及孕妇。Pierre Demba is Ivory Coast's health minister. He told reporters the malaria vaccine launch demonstrates the government's desire to invest in the country's children. "They are the future of our country,” he said.皮埃尔·登巴是科特迪瓦的卫生部长。他告诉记者,疟疾疫苗的启动表明政府希望投资于该国的儿童。他说:“他们是我们国家的未来。”Adrian Hill of Oxford University said in a statement that the effort “marks the start of a new era in malaria control.” He added that he hopes the shot will soon be available to all countries in Africa who want to use it.牛津大学的阿德里安·希尔在声明中表示,这一努力“标志着疟疾控制新时代的开始。”他还补充说,他希望这种疫苗很快能在所有希望使用它的非洲国家推广。Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and the Central African Republic are among the nations that have already approved the vaccine. Other countries, including Cameroon, have begun widespread vaccination programs.加纳、尼日利亚、布基纳法索和中非共和国是已经批准该疫苗的国家之一。包括喀麦隆在内的其他国家也已开始大规模的疫苗接种项目。Alice Kanga was one of many mothers who brought children to get vaccinated. She told reporters from The Associated Press, “It's really important for the children, for their health."爱丽丝·康加是许多带孩子来接种疫苗的母亲之一。她告诉美联社记者,“这对孩子们,对他们的健康真的很重要。”In one poor neighborhood in the city of Abidjan, many women waited with their babies for shots, the French news agency AFP reported.据法新社报道,在阿比让市的一个贫困社区,许多妇女带着她们的婴儿等待接种疫苗。One mother brought her eight-month-old daughter, Awa. Sitting on her mother's knees and held tightly between her arms, the child cried while preparing to receive her first dose. "I'm happy,” Awa's mother said with a smile. “I have seen all the mothers who have come to be vaccinated against malaria."一位母亲带着她八个月大的女儿阿瓦来接种疫苗。孩子坐在母亲的膝盖上,被紧紧抱在怀里,在准备接种第一针时哭了起来。“我很高兴,”阿瓦的母亲笑着说。“我看到了所有来接种疟疾疫苗的母亲。”Officials from the WHO have warned that even with the new vaccination campaign, other measures should continue to be taken to stop disease spread. These include spraying with chemical insect killers and using bed nets for protection.世界卫生组织的官员警告说,即使有了新的疫苗接种运动,仍应继续采取其他措施来阻止疾病传播。这些措施包括喷洒化学杀虫剂和使用蚊帐进行防护。

In this episode, Alex starts by reflecting on the recent Packers loss to the Niners and how it brought him towards an existential moment on time, the ephemeral moments of life, and why experiences cannot always be transitory. Next, Alex talks about how Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the 2024 primary and has endorsed Donald Trump. Alex provides an autopsy into why DeSantis had one of the worst campaigns in recent memory and also wonders if the Florida governor will ever succeed in politics again. Later, Alex argues that Nikki Haley will not do as well as she hopes in New Hampshire and the window has almost closed on any opposition to Donald Trump's GOP nomination. Finally, Alex highlights some good news — a Malaria vaccine is going to be administered in Cameroon and this should help halt the spread of a disease that kills almost 500,000 children (under the age of five) in the continent every year.
Cameroon has launched the world's first routine vaccine programme against Malaria for children under five, in what experts are calling a forward stride in the global fight against the mosquito-borne disease. But health organisations say raising awareness will be crucial to the vaccine's success.
Cameroon has launched the world's first routine vaccination programme against malaria for children under the age of five. Experts are calling the programme a major step forward in the global fight against the disease, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. However, health organisations say that its success depends on more than just an effective vaccine. - Kamerun hat das weltweit erste routinemäßige Impfprogramm gegen Malaria für Kinder unter fünf Jahren ins Leben gerufen. Experten sprechen von einem großen Fortschritt im weltweiten Kampf gegen die Krankheit, die von Stechmücken übertragen wird. Gesundheitsorganisationen sagen jedoch, dass der Erfolg des Programms nicht nur von einem wirksamen Impfstoff abhängt.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Malaria Vaccine Research Help Needed, published by joshcmorrison on December 30, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. We at 1Day Sooner posted recently about scoping a campaign to push for an accelerated rollout of the newly approved R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine. The vaccine was recently prequalified by the WHO, a key step on the critical path to vaccine distribution, but much remains to be done. We greatly appreciate the more than a dozen people who reached out to help after our last post. Their work was invaluable for producing our December Malaria Vaccination Status Report, the development of which has been critical to improving our understanding of the problem. Our colleague Zacharia Kafuko's op-ed as well as Peter Singer's on the subject are also both good sources for further reading. We plan to publish a new status report every month and maintain a rolling public comment version to reflect our latest understanding of the issue and use as a sort of global workspace to share the most critical information about obstacles and enablers for widespread distribution. To make our research work for this more sustainable we're moving to a pool system where members sign up for at least four days out of the month where they will be assigned a 1-2.5 hour research or writing task to update and improve our status report document. Pool members will be paid $100 per pool day. (Here is a punch list of the type of goals we have for our next draft. here.). We are looking to add 5-10 new pool members for January beyond those who signed up last month. If you're interested in helping, please email ryan.duncombe@1daysooner.org. Questions and comments are very welcome. Thanks! Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

12 countries in Africa will receive 18 million doses of the RTS,S malaria vaccine in the coming days. The roll out will begin in the new year. The doses are injections for children between 5 months and 2 years old. Kenya, Ghana and Malawi have already been using the vaccine in a pilot programme since 2019, but in other countries - including Uganda, Mozambique and Cameroon - this will be new. So today, Africa Daily asks how parents view the vaccine – and about how the rollout is likely to go.

A vaccine for malaria that can be produced cheaply on a large scale has been recommended for use by the World Health Organisation. It was developed by the University of Oxford, and is only the second malaria vaccine to be developed. Claudia Hammond is joined by New Scientist health reporter Clare Wilson to look at how the new vaccine works, and why it's proven so hard to find a way to inoculate against malaria. We also look at major new research that's found women are facing major inequalities in cancer care around the world, with calls for a feminist approach to cancer prevention, detection, and treatment. Claudia and Clare also discuss this week's announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Professors Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman are sharing the prize for their work developing the technology that led to the mRNA Covid vaccines. And we hear whether or not there's evidence that mental health ‘first aid' courses have real medical benefits. Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Dan Welsh Editor: Erika Wright

The world has waited decades for a malaria vaccine, and now two have come along in quick succession. On October 2, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that a new malaria vaccine developed by the University of Oxford be rolled out for the prevention of malaria in children, just two years after another vaccine, the RTS,S, got their endorsement. We find out why it's been so hard to find a malaria vaccine – and hear from the scientists behind the new breakthrough. We've been waiting for the official announcement to publish this story, so listeners will hear from former hosts Daniel Merino and Nehal El-Hadi.Featuring Faith Osier, co-director of the Institute of Infections at Imperial College London; Adrian Hill, director of the Jenner Institute at Oxford University, and Alassane Dicko, professor of epidemiology and public health at the Malaria Research and Training Center at the University of Bamako.This episode of The Conversation Weekly was produced and written by Katie Flood.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Why we didn't get a malaria vaccine sooner, and what we can do better next time, published by salonium on September 7, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This is a long (>9000 word) essay written by myself (Saloni Dattani), Rachel Glennerster and Siddhartha Haria for Works in Progress. Over half a million people die from malaria each year, but it took 141 years to develop a vaccine for it. One fundamental reason for this was the scientific complexity of the pathogen - malaria is caused by a parasite, not a virus or bacteria. But another, repeated obstacle was a lack of financial incentive and urgency. In this piece, which includes a lot of data and charts, we tell the story of how the malaria vaccine was developed, why the financial market for the vaccine was missing, and how it could have been sped up with smarter incentives and market mechanisms, like Advance Market Commitments. About the authors: Saloni Dattani - I'm a researcher on global health at Our World in Data and a founding editor of Works in Progress Rachel Glennerster is associate professor of Economics at the University of Chicago. She was previously chief economist at the UK Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office and the Department for International Development and a key figure behind 'Deworm the World'.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Why GiveWell funded the rollout of the malaria vaccine, published by GiveWell on May 12, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Author: Audrey Cooper, GiveWell Philanthropy Advisor Since our founding in 2007, GiveWell has directed over $600 million to programs that aim to prevent malaria, a mosquito-borne disease that causes severe illness and death. Malaria is preventable and curable, yet it killed over 600,000 people in 2021—mostly young children in Africa.[1] Following the World Health Organization's approval of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine (RTS,S) in late 2021,[2] GiveWell directed $5 million to PATH to accelerate the rollout of the vaccine in certain areas of Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi. This grant aimed to enable these communities to gain access to the vaccine about a year earlier than they otherwise would, protecting hundreds of thousands of children from malaria.[3] Although we're very excited about the potential of the RTS,S malaria vaccine to save lives, it isn't a panacea. We still plan to support a range of malaria control interventions, including vaccines, nets, and antimalarial medicine. In this post, we will: Explain how we found the opportunity to fund the malaria vaccine Discuss why we funded this grant Share our plan for malaria funding moving forward Identifying a gap in vaccine access In October 2021, we shared our initial thoughts on the approval of the RTS,S malaria vaccine by the World Health Organization (WHO). At that point, we weren't sure whether the vaccine would be cost-effective and were not aware of any opportunities for private donors to support the expansion of vaccine access. In the following months, our conversations with PATH, a large global health nonprofit that we've previously funded, revealed that there might be an opportunity to help deploy the vaccine more quickly in certain regions. PATH had been supporting the delivery of the vaccine in Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi as part of the WHO-led pilot—the Malaria Vaccine Implementation Program (MVIP)—since the pilot began in 2019.[4] In order to generate evidence about the effectiveness of the vaccine, randomly selected areas in each country received the vaccine during the early years of the pilot, while “comparison areas” would receive the vaccine at a later date, if the vaccine was recommended by the WHO.[5] Once the vaccine had received approval from the WHO, the WHO and PATH believed there was an opportunity to build on the momentum and groundwork of the pilot to roll out the vaccine to the comparison areas as soon as possible. However, the expectation at the time was that expanding use to the comparison areas would need to wait for the standard process through which low-income countries apply for support to access vaccines from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.[6] This process would have made it possible to introduce the vaccine at the end of 2023 at the earliest.[7] However, there was another path through which these vaccines could be provided more quickly. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the vaccine manufacturer, had committed to donate up to 10 million vaccine doses as part of its support for the MVIP.[8] This quantity of vaccine was set aside to allow completion of the pilot program, including vaccination in the comparison areas.[9] However, additional support was needed to be able to utilize these vaccines in advance of Gavi financing, including (for example) funding to cover the costs of safe injection supplies and vaccine shipping and handling, as well as the technical assistance required to support vaccine implementation. With funding from GiveWell, PATH believed it could provide the necessary technical assistance to the ministries of health in Ghana, Kenya, and Malawi to support them in using the donated vaccines from GSK and expand vaccine access to the comparison areas at the end of 202...
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Ghana has approved the use of a malaria vaccine with >70% efficacy, published by Henry Howard on April 19, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine showed 71%-80% efficacy in preventing cases of malaria in a randomised controlled phase 2 trial published at the end of last year. A phase 3 trial is ongoing. 67 (51%) of 132 children who received R21/Matrix-M with low-dose adjuvant, 54 (39%) of 137 children who received R21/Matrix-M with high-dose adjuvant, and 121 (86%) of 140 children who received the rabies vaccine developed clinical malaria by 12 months (the rabies vaccine was the control) The next best thing is the RTS,S/AS01 vaccine, which WHO started rolling out in some pilot programs in 2016 after trials showed its reduced hospital admissions from severe malaria by around 30%, less impressive than R21/Matrix-M. A few days ago, Ghana's food and drugs administration announced that they've approved the R21/Matrix-M for children aged 5 months to 36 months. It seems like there will be more steps before the vaccines actually start rolling out (they might need to wait for WHO approval and/or the results of the phase 3 trial). In any case, very exciting news. I found out about this because it is on the In the news section of the front page of Wikipedia. Thanks for listening.

Ghana has become the first country to approve the roll out of a new malaria vaccine. The approval follows extensive medical trials in several African countries including Kenya. Early trials show it is is more effective than the current vaccine, which Kenyan parents say is being rolled out too slowly
