What are the Future Prospects for Malaria Vaccines?
Several promising malaria vaccine candidates are in various stages of development. One such candidate is the R21/Matrix-M vaccine, which has shown higher efficacy in early trials compared to RTS,S/AS01. Researchers are also exploring genetically modified mosquitoes and monoclonal antibodies as innovative approaches to malaria prevention. The ultimate goal is to develop a highly effective vaccine that provides long-lasting immunity and can be integrated into existing malaria control programs.
