Beginning in 2019, 3 sub-Saharan African countries – Ghana, Kenya and Malawi – led the introduction of the vaccine in selected areas of moderate-to-high malaria transmission as part of a large-scale pilot programme coordinated by WHO. The aim is to vaccinate about 360 000 children per year in the selected areas across the 3 countries. Vaccinations are being provided through each country’s routine immunization programme.

[https://www.cgdev.org/blog/malaria-vaccines-turning-scientific-triumph-millions-lives-saved by CGD]

After decades of research and development, two new malaria vaccines entered routine administration this year. This is a huge win for science, and potentially for humanity. Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, projects that these vaccines will save 180,000 children’s lives by 2030.

=====In real-world study, malaria vaccine effectiveness matches clinical trials=====

[https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/malaria/real-world-study-malaria-vaccine-effectiveness-matches-clinical-trials by Chris Dall, MA 11/11/25 CIDRAP]

Interim analysis of a phase 4 study shows incidence of malaria and severe malaria were significantly reduced in children who received the RTS,S/AS01E malaria vaccine, researchers reported last week in The Lancet Global Health.

=====Malaria vaccine basics=====

[https://draperlab.web.ox.ac.uk/malaria-vaccine-basics by Draper Lab]

Malaria is one of humanity's oldest and most deadly foes, in 2022 there were 249 million infections resulting in 608 000 deaths. Vaccines are one of the most successful healthcare interventions therefore a highly effective vaccine for malaria is crucial to win the fight against this parasite.

=====‘We’re aiming to protect even more children’: Research starts on second-generation malaria vaccine to prevent most severe form of disease=====

[https://www.gsk.com/en-gb/behind-the-science-magazine/second-generation-malaria-vaccine/ by GSK 25/4/25]

The research will build on the success of first-generation vaccines by adding a new antigen – a molecule that stimulates an immune response.

=====Overview=====

[https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/malaria/symptoms-causes/syc-20351184 by MAYO CLINIC]

=====Malaria vaccine questions and answers=====

[https://www.unicef.org/supply/documents/malaria-vaccine-questions-and-answers by unicef]

Malaria is a preventable and curable life-threatening parasitic disease, and yet there are still an estimated 627,000 deaths a year, of which 77 per cent are children under five years of age. This questions and answers update on new malaria vaccines, provides general information on malaria vaccine supply, price, and the ongoing market shaping efforts.

=====Africa launches historic malaria vaccine rollout amid funding uncertainty=====

[https://www.nature.com/articles/d44148-025-00245-8 by nature africa 15/8/25]

As malaria remains one of Africa’s most persistent public health threats, 2025 is poised to become a turning point in the fight against the disease, with numerous African countries set to expand vaccine coverage at unprecedented levels.

=====First malaria vaccine slashes early childhood mortality=====

[https://www.science.org/content/article/first-malaria-vaccine-slashes-early-childhood-deaths by Meredith Wadman 24/10/23 Science]

In a major analysis in Africa, the first vaccine approved to fight malaria cut deaths among young children by 13% over nearly 4 years, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported last week. The huge evaluation of a pilot rollout of the vaccine, called RTS,S or Mosquirix and made by GlaxoSmithKline, also showed a 22% reduction in severe malaria in kids young enough to receive a three-shot series.

=====Zambia launches malaria vaccine to protect over half million children=====

[https://www.gavi.org/news/media-room/zambia-launches-malaria-vaccine-protect-over-half-million-children by Gavi 27/10/25]

Lusaka, Zambia, 27 October 2025 – The Government of the Republic of Zambia, through the Ministry of Health, today officially launched the malaria vaccine R21/Matrix-M,as part of its Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI), marking a historic milestone in the country’s fight against malaria.
