First Malaria Vaccine

An amazing thing is happening! For the first time, a malaria vaccine is being distributed to Malawi, and soon to Ghana and Kenya!

Over 1 million children are expected to be immunized against this debilitating, and sometimes deadly, disease in the next three years.

This is an excellent example of how modern medical research is continuing to improve the lives of humans all around the world by creating vaccines that reduce the terrible impacts of diseases that effect millions of people. In this case, this vaccine, and other malaria vaccines that are in development will help to reduce the over 250,000 child deaths in Africa every year.

Science is changing the world and saving lives!
