Malaria Vaccine Initiative

The Malaria Vaccine Initiative (MVI) is a global effort aimed at developing and distributing vaccines to prevent malaria, a serious disease transmitted by mosquitoes. Supported by the PATH organization and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, MVI focuses on creating effective vaccines that can protect vulnerable populations, particularly children in malaria-endemic regions. The initiative collaborates with researchers, governments, and health organizations to accelerate vaccine research and development. Its goal is to reduce malaria cases and deaths, improving public health and empowering communities affected by this disease.
