Some countries have eliminated malaria, but cases are growing elsewhere
44 countries and 1 territory are certified as malaria-free, but cases rose in 2023
Vaccines against malaria, like this dose being prepared by a health care worker in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, on July 15, 2024, are among the most promising tools being used to eliminate malaria. Two vaccines are now approved to protect young children, who account for the majority of deaths from the disease.
