BREAKTHROUGH:
WHO recommends for use malaria vaccine evaluated by Ifakara 💉

The @WHO has officially recommended for use a new malaria vaccine that @ifakarahealth was involved in conducting its clinical trials from 2021-2022 to prevent malaria infections in children. The @oxfordUni developed the vaccine in collaboration with the @SerumInstIndia.

In an updated advice on immunization published on its website yesterday, the @WHO recommends the R21/Matrix-M™ vaccine for the prevention of malaria in children. Both, @ifakarahealth Director @HonoratiM and Science Director @ally_olotu have lauded the breakthrough.

The recommendation follows advice from the @WHO: Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) and the Malaria Policy Advisory Group (MPAG) and was endorsed by the WHO Director-General following its regular biannual meeting held from September 25-29.
