Gavi, UNICEF Negotiate 40% Slash in Malaria Vaccine Price

UNICEF and Gavi have negotiated a 40% reduction in the price of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine. The agreement is expected to save $50 million for childhood immunisation programmes between 2027 and 2029. Lower vaccine costs could help stretch health budgets and support efforts to protect children from malaria across affected African countries.
