"We haven’t got any other vaccines against parasites in humans. So this was a great advance to develop a vaccine against the parasitic infection of humans, particularly one so important as malaria. The vaccines are okay. They’re not brilliant, like many of the vaccines that we give to children, which are very, very effective, you might only need one to protect you for life. They’re not useless either, they provide reasonable levels of protection. Unfortunately, not for a very long time so the problem with the vaccines is how do we deliver them to the people that need them, the people that need them, largely, are children in Africa, although we can use them also to accelerate elimination but that’s more experimental at the present time. So how important are they? Probably moderately important, but they’re certainly not game changers, as vaccines have been for other diseases. Take COVID for example. There we have vaccines that have completely transformed the outlook of the disease. That’s not the case for malaria vaccines."

"Parasites by definition are organisms that have spent their entire evolutionary history trying to avoid our immune system. So perhaps we were a little hubristic to think we could develop a vaccine easily. It’s a great triumph that we’ve got 1 or 2, they’re very similar by the way. So the problem is that the parasites are very clever and they can avoid vaccines."
