No Malaria Vaccine for India Yet, Says Expert Panel: MoS Health
In a recent Lok Sabha session, the Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, Smt. Anupriya Patel informed that the government has decided not to proceed with the immediate inclusion of malaria vaccines in the Indian healthcare system.
The decision follows a detailed review by an expert committee, which assessed the suitability of malaria vaccines for India. The committee concluded that the country does not currently meet the necessary criteria for vaccine introduction, as malaria vaccines are primarily recommended for areas with moderate to high transmission rates and high risk of child mortality due to malaria.
