Mozambique recorded 6.2 million cases of malaria in the first half of 2024, 22% less than in the same period of the previous year, and the number of deaths caused by the disease fell from 211 to 196. The Mozambican authorities said that R21/Matrix-M, the second malaria vaccine for children, developed by Oxford University in the UK and approved in October by the World Health Organization (WHO), would be used in the country.
