“On September 18, 2025, Ethiopia officially launched the malaria vaccine in Turmi, South Omo Zone. The vaccine will be delivered alongside insecticide-treated nets to protect children in 58 high-burden districts. This is the first rollout of its kind — previous malaria vaccine rollouts in other countries have been integrated into existing vaccine programmes. The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will roll out 186,000 doses, as well as over 12 million mosquito nets, creating an effective two-pronged approach. Ethiopia is now the 23rd country in Africa to introduce malaria vaccination.”
