The malaria parasite, spread by mosquito bites, is more complicated than viruses. Most diseases that used to kill children in large numbers have succumbed to vaccines except malaria,he first candidate vaccine trial took place in the 1940s; more than a hundred jabs have been in development since. . The first vaccine was approved by the World Health Organisation in 2021 but only prevents 44% of malarial episodes in young children. The new jab, called r21, was developed at Oxford University.
