: Pre-erythrocytic vaccines were boosted by RTS,S approval, but its partial efficacy, limited to sporozoites, calls for compositions active against other disease stages. In particular, multi-antigens vaccines could be more effective than single-stage ones, as they would activate an immune response more similar to that acquired in endemic regions. Furthermore, vaccine storage is another factor to be taken into account given the climate of the areas where malaria is widespread. More advanced technologies can lead to more effective and safer vaccines.
