Today the RTS,S #MalariaVaccine changes the course of public health history. @WHO thanks @gavi @GlobalFund @UNITAID @PATHtweets @GSK and Ghana, Kenya & Malawi & partners
Over 800K children have so far received the RTS,S #malaria vaccine & are benefiting from this additional protection against malaria.
The vaccine significantly reduces malaria & life-threatening severe cases and could save tens of thousands of young lives each year.
