Acceptance, availability, and feasibility of RTS, S/AS01 malaria vaccine: A review
ConclusionSeveral challenges need to be addressed to ensure the success of vaccination programs. From the acceptability perspective, issues such as inadequate community engagement, concerns about side effects, and issues with the delivery and quality of healthcare services can affect the acceptance of the vaccine. From the feasibility standpoint, factors such as lack of transportation or long distances to healthcare facilities and the perception of completion of the vaccination calendar can affect the feasibility of the vaccine. Lastly, the availability of the vaccine is also a major concern as it may not be readily availa...

Cost of introducing and delivering RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine within the malaria vaccine implementation program
This study estimates the incremental costs of introducing and delivering the malaria vaccine within routine immunization programs in the context of malaria vaccine pilot introduction, to help inform decision-making.METHODS: An activity-based, retrospective costing was conducted from the governments' perspective. Vaccine introduction and delivery costs supported by the donors during the pilot introduction were attributed as costs to the governments under routine implementation. Detailed resource use data were extracted from the pilot program expenditure and activity reports for 2019-2021. Primary data from representative he...

Understanding the Intransigence of Malaria in Malawi
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2022 Oct 11;107(4_Suppl):40-48. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.21-1263. Print 2022 Oct 11.ABSTRACTDespite the scale-up of interventions against malaria over the past decade, this disease remains a leading threat to health in Malawi. To evaluate the epidemiology of both Plasmodium falciparum infection and malaria disease, the Malawi International Center of Excellence for Malaria Research (ICEMR) has developed and implemented diverse and robust surveillance and research projects. Descriptive studies in ICEMR Phase 1 increased our understanding of the declining effectiveness of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), t...

Estimated Rates of Intermittent Preventive Treatment During Pregnancy for Malaria Based on Population-based Survey Responses: Reliability of Recall Among Women with Antenatal Care Cards
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2021 Jun 28:tpmd201296. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.20-1296. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLarge household surveys performed to estimate coverage rates for various health interventions, including intermittent preventive treatment, depend on recall. Many studies question the validity of recalled data. Regarding vaccine coverage rates, it is standard practice to validate responses using medical history cards. To validate the coverage rates of intermittent preventive treatment during pregnancy reported by large household surveys, recalled coverage rates were compared with antenatal care card data in Benin, Ghana, Ma...
