According to WAR-2021 (World Malaria Report), half the world's population lives at risk of malaria transmission in 87 countries and territories. The WHO African Region carries a is proportionately high share of the global malaria burden. Children under 5 accounted for about 80% of all malaria deaths in the Region. More than 260,000 African children under age 5 die from the disease annually. This review highlights the recent research in the development of the malaria vaccine.
