Prayer for malaria prevention efforts in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi

https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/23/health/malaria-africa-worlds-first-vaccine-intl/index.html

Lord God, we pray for malaria vaccination programs moving forward in Malawi, Kenya and Ghana. Though Mosquirix is not 100% effective, we are thankful for the 40% more children who will likely be saved from this deadly disease through the use of this vaccine. To hear the World Health Organization’s claim that one child dies from malaria every two minutes is deeply distressing. We pray for continued success in the fight against this disease, including early identification and treatment. We also pray that parents will follow the vaccination procedure properly, ensuring their children get all four doses according to schedule. We also pray for continued success with bed nets and other prevention measures, and that researchers will have continued creativity as they find additional effective solutions. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
