Modest efficacy and administration challenge of malaria vaccine --- It needs all hands on deck to get rid of malaria. It is a remarkable achievement that a malaria vaccine has been approved.

So to get malaria under control we not only need vaccination effort but also malaria control measures, including mosquito nets and preventive medicines.
