Dr. Jessica Pelletier speaks with Dr. Ly Cloessner, a public health expert, about current malaria vaccines and the rollout process
Take-Home Points:
- Malaria can cause severe symptoms requiring emergency care and lead to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide.
- Malaria prevention includes the use of bednets, insecticide spraying, and antimalarial medications, especially for pregnant women and children in high-transmission areas.
- Since 2019, the WHO has prequalified two malaria vaccines: R21/Matrix-M and RTS,S/AS01 (Mosquirix). Additional vaccines are in development.
