Shot of hope
scientists have developed a malaria vaccine that shows some success in controlling the disease. Though it will have to be used in combination with available drugs and preventive methods to offer full protection, experts hope it would prove especially useful in malaria-endemic regions. The vaccine is still in the trial phase.
Called rts,s/as02a or Mosquirix, the vaccine prepares the immune system to attack the sporozoite
