After decades of research, the first malaria vaccine RTS, S was approved in 2021, and trials have already shown that when combined with antimalarial drugs it reduced severe malaria cases and deaths by nearly two thirds.
A second vaccine developed by the University of Oxford has also just been approved, with similar effectiveness, and it’s cheaper so we can manufacture it at an even bigger scale.
