First seen Apr 04, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This large study in Sierra Leone is testing whether giving children an antibiotic (azithromycin) along with their regular malaria prevention medicine during routine vaccination visits can reduce deaths from infections like malaria, pneumonia, and diarrhea. Over 20,000 children are participating, and researchers will track how many survive to 18 months old. The goal is to find a simple, low-cost way to save more young lives in areas with high child mortality.
