malaria vaccine
Tropical fever shot
A malaria vaccine is a vaccine that provides partial protection against malaria, a mosquito-borne disease caused by parasites.
The first approved malaria vaccine (RTS,S) became available in 2021 after decades of development—malaria parasites are far more complex than viruses, making effective vaccines difficult to create.
The malaria vaccine rollout in Africa has prevented thousands of childhood deaths.
