Nigerian govt announces date for malaria vaccination in two states

The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) has announced that the much-anticipated malaria vaccination campaign will commence in Kebbi and Bayelsa states on 2 December.

The NPHCDA said the initiative is part of Nigeria’s continued efforts to curb the devastating impact of malaria, which remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the country.

The Executive Director of NPHCDA, Muyi Aina, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Friday in Abuja.
