Six-month-old Eyenga was one of thousands of children in the 42 districts of Cameroon who received the vaccine against malaria this year. The vaccine is part of the routine vaccination. Each child will have to receive 4 doses from the time they’re six months until they reach their second birthday.

“Bring your child for free vaccines tomorrow!” Sokly Ye called out to passers-by as she slowly drove her motorbike down a narrow dirt road lined with ramshackle homes.
