A member asked:
When does someone need the anti-malaria vaccine? does it only work if taken before exposure to malaria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Future hope: Currently there is no vaccine for malaria although many are searching for this with some promising leads. There are medication s which can attack the malaria organism and deal with active infection and some that prevent the malaria from spreading if you are exposed. Hopefully a vaccine will eventually be developed.
