Malaria Vaccine Successful in Early Trials

Scientist in Maryland came up with some sort of a vaccine to prevent malaria infection. The purpose was to inject sporozoites into the bloodstream of a patient and hopefully will create an immune system for future incidents with mosquitoes. They tested 15 patients by giving 4 doses and 5 doses of sporozoites. Other patients were not given any shots. Their results were a step into the future. 83 percent of the unvaccinated patients received malaria while only 33 percent with 4 doses received malaria. The patients who received 5 doses did not get malaria. Their results were very successful, and may soon lead to malaria-free society.
