The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended on Monday the use of a second malaria vaccine to curb the life-threatening disease spread to humans by some mosquitoes.
"Almost exactly two years ago, W.H.O. recommended the broad use of the world's first malaria vaccine called RTS,S," WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a briefing in Geneva.
"WHO is now reviewing the vaccine for prequalification, which is WHO stamp of approval, and will enable GAVI and UNICEF to buy the vaccine from manufacturers," Tedros said. Dengue, common in tropical and subtropical climates, is a viral infection spread from mosquitoes to people.
