What you need to know:
- After more than 60 years in the development of malaria vaccines, government scientists think multiple strategies are key in eliminating the disease, rather than a single effort. They are concerned about the economic cost of controlling and treating the disease, which kills close to 10,000 Ugandans every year. The government wants to eliminate malaria by 2030.
