Blood-stage vaccine for malaria shows promise in trials: Report

Work is ongoing to further monitor efficacy over time, the researchers said in the paper about the vaccine candidate that has been named RH5.1/Matrix-M.

The two malaria vaccines approved currently (RTS,S/AS01 and R21/Matrix-M) target the malaria parasite when present in the liver and are now recommended for malaria prevention in children.
