The world's first malaria vaccine has reached a historic milestone: 10 million children vaccinated across African nations. Early data shows a 75% reduction in severe malaria cases among vaccinated children.
"This is saving thousands of young lives," said a WHO official. "Malaria has killed children for millennia. We're finally turning the tide."
The rollout continues to expand, with plans to vaccinate 30 million children annually by 2030. Combined with bed nets and treatment, the vaccine could help eliminate malaria as a major killer.
