Article Synopsis
- The RTS,S malaria vaccine has been authorized for use in areas with moderate to high malaria transmission, specifically targeting children aged 12-59 months in Ghana.
- A study conducted from 2020 to 2022 found that the vaccine reduced uncomplicated malaria cases by 33%, though the rate of malaria incidence averted showed a decline over time.
- Researchers concluded that the vaccine effectively lowers malaria burden, but decreasing protective immunity as children age highlights the need for better vaccination uptake and malaria control strategies.
