On October 6, the World Health Organization endorsed a malaria vaccine for the first time ever. After years of testing, the vaccine was shown to be safe and effective at preventing the deaths of thousands of children in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The WHO's backing of this Malaria vaccine is both a breakthrough in scientific research and an important moment in human history.
