In a study published in BMC Medicine, researchers examined the challenges of vaccinating high-risk children against malaria, emphasizing health system-related risks and proposed solutions for universal protection. Limited government health financing and vaccine allocation frameworks were identified as significant barriers, necessitating transformative changes in health financing to ensure wide accessibility. Strengthening vaccine allocation frameworks, updating prioritization methods, and addressing core issues such as limited vaccine supply, infrastructure deficiencies, and inadequate data systems are crucial steps to optimize the impact of malaria vaccines. Proactive planning and targeted interventions at national and subnational levels are essential to combat malaria effectively.
