The World Health Organisation has given its backing to a vaccine against malaria, a landmark moment for medical science that could save the lives of tens of thousands of children across the African continent every year.

“This is a historic moment. The long-awaited malaria vaccine for children is a breakthrough for science, child health and malaria control,” said WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

The RTS,S vaccine, also known as Mosquirix, will be rolled out widely following a successful pilot programme in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi.
