Give well has an Article on Malaria Vaccines.

Its last update seems to have been some when in 2022 and since then a new vaccine has been approved.

The new Vaccine "R21 Matrix M" has an efficacy 68% to 76% (depending on what exactly you mean by efficacy), which is way better than "RTS,S".

When will Give well be able to look into this and tell me if it is more worthwhile to donate to a charity distributing this stuff (like "Gavi" )?

Resolution Criteria:

  1. The Malaria Vaccines.

  2. "Soon" = June or July 2024

  3. New updates have to really update the information in the article not just be reformatting, or correcting grammar.
