So wonderful to spend time w/ DR Dr. Winter Okoth, ScM, PhD. last week. We met in 2017 when we recruited ASTMH members to join United to Beat Malaria for an advocacy day on Cap Hill. Winter became one of our most reliable champs, recently earned her PhD re malaria vax research & is an incredible human.
As #WorldImmunizationWeek comes to a close, hear from Dr. Winter Okoth, ScM, PhD., a malaria scientist and ASTMH Board member. Dr. Okoth is also a passionate advocate and longtime United to Beat Malaria Champion, working to create a malaria-free future for us all.
