Think & Discuss
India’s Indigenous Malaria Vaccine: A Game-Changer for Global Health?
Context from today’s quiz: ICMR has developed AdFalciVax, India’s first indigenous multi-stage malaria vaccine targeting Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest human malaria parasite. The vaccine aims to block both infection and onward transmission, addressing two critical stages of the disease cycle.
πŸ€” Your Perspective Matters
Malaria kills over 600,000 people annually, mostly in Africa and South Asia. The WHO-approved RTS,S vaccine (Mosquirix) has shown limited efficacy of around 30-40%. India’s multi-stage approach targeting both infection and transmission could potentially offer superior protection and contribute to elimination efforts.

Can India’s indigenous malaria vaccine development capability position the country as a global health leader, and what challenges must be overcome for mass deployment?
  • How does India’s vaccine manufacturing capacity (as demonstrated during COVID-19) support malaria vaccine production?
  • Should India prioritize vaccine development for diseases with high domestic burden vs. global health priorities?
  • What role should public-private partnerships play in accelerating clinical trials and regulatory approvals?
