The malaria vaccine marks a historic milestone for Africa, but access, trust, and logistics will determine its success. In this third episode of our #JournoConversations series, we explore how African journalists are telling this story beyond the headlines.

Host Chibuike Alagboso, Director of Media Programmes at Nigeria Health Watch, speaks with Sharon Atieno, Journalist and Editor at Science Africa, Kenya, and Afeez Bolaji, Journalist at Daily Trust, about the challenges and opportunities in malaria reporting, the role of community engagement, and how evidence-based journalism can shape public understanding and trust.

The conversation highlights the importance of accurate reporting, local context, and collaborative approaches in communicating health innovations across the continent.
