Seasonal intensification could help ensure malaria vaccines protect children when transmission risk is highest.
Last week, AIRID participated in a stakeholder meeting in Benin where results from a GAVI-funded project on learnings for malaria vaccine delivery were shared with the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) and local stakeholders.

Last week, AIRID participated in a stakeholder meeting in Benin where results from a GAVI-funded project on learnings for malaria vaccine delivery were shared with the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) and local stakeholders.
The evaluation was led by Dr. Corine Ngufor, Executive Director of AIRID, and implemented through a consortium of partners, supporting the NMCP to assess a pilot strategy designed to better align malaria vaccine delivery with peak transmission periods.
Higher vaccine coverage in the intervention area
Positive spillover effects on uptake of other childhood vaccines
Findings presented during the meeting showed:
A strong example of how implementation research can help countries optimise new malaria tools for greater impact.
