Preliminary insights into knowledge and attitudes toward malaria vaccination among Sudanese healthcare workers: an exploratory cross-sectional study
The study highlights critical gaps in knowledge and predominantly unfavorable attitudes toward malaria vaccination among Sudanese HCWs, indicating a risk of vaccine hesitancy in frontline delivery. Targeted training and awareness programs are urgently needed to strengthen HCWs' capacity, dispel misconceptions, and build trust in the malaria vaccine as Sudan scales up immunization efforts.
