As the vaccine reduces the number of severe malaria<br />
cases it is expected to reduce childhood mortality due to<br />
malaria, and we look forward to see these data.<br />
Thus the studies reported over the past 6 years<br />
demonstrate that the vaccine has a protective efficacy at<br />
the same level as insecticide treated nets (ITN)<br />
presently the basic tool for malaria control in Africa.<br />
Pending the mortality data, it will be interesting to follow<br />
how vaccine and ITNs will be used in malaria control,<br />
how the cost of the 2 interventions will compare and<br />
how effective a combination of the 2 may be.
