First Malaria Vaccines Reach Children in Sub-Saharan Africa After 40-Year Quest
Aug 1, 2024, 12:26 PM
More than 95% of the world’s malaria cases are concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa. The development of malaria vaccines has been a long and challenging journey, involving laboratories in New York, England, and Belgium, as well as clinical research sites in several African countries. Malaria has killed billions of people throughout history, including notable figures such as Alexander the Great and Ghengis Khan. The vaccines underscore the importance of persistent scientific efforts over many years, particularly when dealing with complex parasites like the one that causes malaria. The first malaria vaccines are now starting to reach children in sub-Saharan Africa, marking a significant milestone in the fight against one of humanity’s biggest killers. A STAT special report by DrewQJoseph highlights this 40-year quest.
