Background: Mozambique is a malaria endemic country with an estimated prevalence of malaria in children 6-59 months old that is twice as high in rural areas (46.0%) as in urban areas (18.0%). However, only 46.0% of women aged 15-49 years had complete knowledge about malaria in 2018. This study aimed to i...

COVID-19 vaccination of children is gaining global support
(Committee on Infectious Diseases, 2022), and data on immunogenicity and efficacy/effectiveness are increasing (Walter et al.,
2022; Frenck et al., 2021; Han et al., 2021). Chile has rapidly
advanced in a national vaccination campaign for childre...
