Experimental malaria vaccine injection

An adult volunteer in Mali receives the experimental malaria vaccine known as PfSPZ Vaccine.

The vaccine was well-tolerated and protected a significant proportion of healthy adults against infection with Plasmodium falciparum malaria — the deadliest form of the disease — for the duration of the malaria season, according to new findings published in the February 15th issue of the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases.
