And Now for Some Good News – Malaria Vaccine for Children Seems to Work!

I don’t imagine there is any reader of OJ who is not aware of the suffering and devastation caused by malaria.  So this is welcome news.

A vaccine against the parasitic disease malaria cut illnesses by more than half in field trials and could be safely given with other childhood inoculations, two studies have reported. The vaccine, which will begin a third and final phase of clinical trials early next year, could become the first to protect children from malaria, which kills nearly 1 million people worldwide every year.
