New malaria vaccine offers a ray of hope to Nigeria. There's just one thing ...

People queue for a free malaria test in Lagos, Nigeria. The country has one of the highest national death tolls from the mosquito-borne disease. A new vaccine offers hope. But logistics could prevent it from reaching the arms of those who are eligible.

The country's toll makes up nearly a third of the world's 619,000 malaria deaths each year. Now Nigeria has approved a new vaccine. Will it get into the arms of those who need it most?
