The earliest results, released in October 2011, showed that in children aged 5-17 months, vaccination with RTS,S reduced the risk of clinical malaria and severe malaria by 56% and 47%, respectively.[17] However, in results released in November 2012, the vaccine was less effective in infants aged 6-12 weeks at first vaccination."[1] | |
