'First malaria vaccine' test starts

Malawi is the first of three countries chosen for the pilot to roll out the vaccine. It aims to immunise 120,000 children aged two years and below. The other two countries, Ghana and Kenya, will introduce the vaccine in the coming weeks.

"There were seven countries participating in a large trial where over 15,000 children participated," Dr David Schellenberg, who has been working on the development of the vaccine with the WHO, told the BBC's Newsday programme. Years of testing supported by a host of organisations, including the Path Malaria Vaccine Initiative, and costing an estimated $1bn , have led to this point.Campaigners have long been calling for an effective way to deal with malaria

Dr O'Brien said the vaccine lasted for at least for seven years and would target infants because they are most at risk.

Good luck with this!

Yeah......humans have replaced animals in this inhuman vaccine testing.......Another hateful excuse to kill black children
