Abstract
To maintain momentum towards improved malaria control and elimination, a vaccine would be a key addition to the
intervention toolkit. Two approaches are recommended: (1) promote the development and short to medium term
deployment of first generation vaccine candidates and (2) support innovation and discovery to identify and develop
highly effective, long-lasting and affordable next generation malaria vaccines.
