2. Mid of news conference
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Kate O'Brien, Director, Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals, World Health Organization (WHO):
"As much of a milestone as it is, it is an imperfect vaccine against a complex disease, but it's also a vaccine that has significant potential to save lives and deliver on the health aspirations that we have for all children around the world."
4. Mid of news conference
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Kate O'Brien, Director, Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals, World Health Organization (WHO):
"The anticipation is that there will be about 360,000 children each year who will be vaccinated across the three countries."
6. Mid of news conference
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Pedro Alonso, Director, Global Malaria Programme, World Health Organization (WHO):
"The question could be well, why not wait until we have something better. Well, and the answer to that is because we know we're dealing with a very, very hard organism and that's why I mentioned before this is the first vaccine against the human malaria parasite. Parasites are really complex organisms much more so than a virus or a bacteria. And that's why it has taken 30 years to develop this first vaccine."
8. Tilt up of journalist taking notes
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Pedro Alonso, Director, Global Malaria Programme, World Health Organization (WHO):
"I always remember when 30 years ago, we as many others were developing insecticide-treated bed nets, they were met with similar scepticism. 'Oh, they only prevented 40 percent of clinical malaria' - oddly enough the same level that this vaccine provides. And insecticide-treated bed nets were met with significant scepticism, but data showed that they could actually have a massive impact on mortality and as such they've become the cornerstone, the backbone of our malaria control efforts that have resulted in over 7 million deaths being averted."

12. SOUNDBITE (Chichewa) Alinafe Tsitsi, mother:
"My husband's illness from malaria prompted me to come here for the malaria vaccine, because I heard an announcement in my village that the hospital was vaccinating children against malaria. Malaria is a dangerous disease. When I saw how ill my husband was from malaria I was concerned that if my children got ill from malaria it would be much worse for them. I don't want my child to suffer from malaria, that is why my child is getting the malaria vaccine."

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Michael Kayange, deputy-director for malaria, Malawi Ministry of Health:
"Malaria is a huge public health problem in Malawi. We see about 6 million cases each year, and we register close to 3000 deaths each year. And per day, I would say we register about eight deaths every day. So, it's quite a huge problem, a public health problem in Malawi. And that's why this malaria vaccine which has potential to prevent some cases and also save some lives, as a country we're quite positive about it and they we're happy that we're introducing this vaccine."

STORYLINE:
The World Health Organization says Malawi has become the first country to begin immunising children against malaria, using the only licensed vaccine to protect against the mosquito-spread disease.
Although the vaccine only protects about one-third of children who are immunised, those who get the shots are likely to have less severe cases of malaria.
The parasitic disease kills about 435,000 people every year, the majority of them children under 5 in Africa.
The vaccine, known as Mosquirix, was developed by GlaxoSmithKline and was approved by the European Medicines Agency in 2015.
A previous trial showed the vaccine was about 30% effective in children who got four doses, but that protection waned over time.
Pedro Alonso, director of WHO's malaria program, said similar vaccination programs would begin in the coming weeks in Kenya and Ghana, with the aim of reaching about 360,000 children per year across the three countries.
Alonso called the vaccination rollout a "historical moment," noting that it was significantly more difficult to design a vaccine against a parasite as opposed to a bacterium or virus.
It took GSK and partners more than 30 years to develop the vaccine, at a cost of around $1 billion.
GSK is donating up to 10 million vaccine doses in the current vaccination initiatives.
A company spokesman said GSK is working with partners to secure funding for potentially broader vaccination programs.
Some experts warned the vaccination programs should not divert limited public health funds from inexpensive and proven tools to curb malaria such as bed nets and insecticides.
