Malaria Vaccine Initiative (MVI)

The Malaria Vaccine Initiative (MVI) is a program dedicated to developing, testing, and delivering effective malaria vaccines. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites, primarily affecting tropical regions. MVI collaborates with scientists, governments, and organizations worldwide to speed up the creation of safe, affordable vaccines to prevent malaria. Their work aims to reduce illness and death caused by malaria, saving lives, especially among children in vulnerable communities. Overall, MVI plays a crucial role in the global effort to control and eventually eradicate malaria through advanced vaccine development.
