Abstract
Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Nigeria, particularly among children. Vaccine therapy offers a promising avenue for combating this disease. This review explores the current landscape of malaria vaccine development, evaluates the effectiveness of existing vaccines, and discusses the potential impact of these vaccines on Nigerian children. Also considered are the logistical and socio-economic factors influencing vaccine deployment in Nigeria.
