UKRI Stories | POV: you’re a mosquito who doesn't know we've got a a malaria vaccine now @UKResearchandInnovation | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.

A second vaccine developed by the University of Oxford has also just been approved, with similar effectiveness, and it’s cheaper so we can manufacture it at an even bigger scale.
