late last year there were reports of a malaria vaccine. the hope about this was that it would hit the falciparum form, that is most lethal and is more resistant to anti malarial medicines.
But now the BBC (and Lancet) reports initial studies suggest 70 to 80 percent protection.
A good discussion here not just about malaria but about how public health authorities implement disease protection: Start at 9 minutes if you are in a hurry.
