New malaria vaccine “could save millions of lives” – BBC News


A new cheap malaria vaccine that can be produced on a huge scale has been hailed as a breakthrough by the World Health Organisation.

The vaccine has been developed by the University of Oxford and is said to be 75% effective against the disease.

Most deaths from malaria are of babies and infants in Africa, where it claims more than half a million lives every year.

There are already agreements in place to manufacture more than 100 million doses of the vaccine annually.
