Angie Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Just heard on the news that they have a vaccine for malaria, it has taken 30 yrs of work, i really hope they keep it cheap so the third world countries that need it can afford to buy it. Dying from malaria is not nice and it is usually the children that die first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 That's wonderful news - I wonder if this is anything to do with the Bill Gates foundation, they have put a lot of money into research/vaccination but I don't know if it was specifically malaria. This could have an immense impact on life in many parts of the world - malaria kills thousands of children every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
