Malaria vaccine could be ready by 2015
Dated 22/10/2013
The vaccine, RTS,S, has been developed by GSK in partnership with the Path Malaria Vaccine Initiative and with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and was tested in a clinical trial involving 15,500 children in seven African countries – the largest such test ever held on the continent.
The trial found that, in the 18 months following vaccination, children aged between five and 17 months who had received RTS,S were 46 per cent less likely to contract malaria than those who had not been vaccinated.
========================
Needs more work, 46% is ok... 90% would be better. 'They' are planing on cost + 5% .. the 5% is to further develop the drug.
