Ghana authorizes a new malaria vaccine. This vaccine developed by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom might reduce under-five mortality, reports Graphic. Clinical trials have been carried out in the UK, Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mali and Tanzania but the results have not yet been published. The vaccine has a shelf life of 24 months when doses are stored between two and eight degrees. Malaria kills an average of 600,000 people a year. The World Health Organization has so far only authorized one vaccine, Mosquirix, which is around 30% effective.
World Malaria Day is celebrated on April 25 every year. Established by the Member States of the WHO during the 2007 World Health Assembly, this day is an opportunity to recall the need for a lasting political and scientific commitment, associated with financial means, in favor of the prevention of the fight once morest malaria.
Although progress has been made in recent decades to reduce its incidence and mortality, and to improve treatment, malaria still affects millions of people.
