Las vacunas del coronavirus se obtuvieron en tiempo récord, pero hay otras que se esperan desde hace años e incluso décadas: es el caso de la de la malaria, una enfermedad que mata cada año a más de 400,000 personas.

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) aprobó este miércoles la primera vacuna contra la malaria para niños, "una luz para África", según dijo el director, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

En ese continente la malaria mata a más de 260,000 niños de menos de cinco años cada año, es decir, más de la mitad del total de personas que mata en el mundo en ese periodo de tiempo (más de 400,000).

Medals and Awards announced – Hemingway Award
We were also delighted to award several Medals and Awards at our AGM.

Dr Maria Eugenia Grillet received the Hemingway Award – a joint award between RSTMH and LSTM to recognise Professor Hemingway’s achievements in delivering and encouraging translational science during her leadership of LSTM.

Dr Grillet is a professor and principal investigator at the Instituto de Zoología y Ecología Tropical at the Universidad Central de Venezuela, where her research mainly focuses on the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases.

It is an honour be the recipient of the 2021 Hemingway Award. I am grateful to the two sponsoring institutions, RSTMH and LSTM, institutions that I greatly admire, and the academic home of some of my research colleagues.

My research has always moved across disciplines and methodologies and looked to inform effective public health policies to control and eliminate of vector-borne infectious diseases such as malaria and onchocerciasis.
