@SerumInstIndia

NEW: Malaria vaccine developed by the University of Oxford receives regulatory clearance for use in Ghana 🇬🇭.

The vaccine will be manufactured by @SerumInstIndia using @Novavax's adjuvant technology.

Today marks the vaccine's first regulatory clearance for use in any country.

The vaccine has been approved for use in children aged 5 to 36 months, the age group at highest risk of death from malaria.

It is hoped that this first crucial step will enable the vaccine to help Ghanaian and African children to effectively combat malaria.

The R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine is a low-dose vaccine that can be manufactured at mass scale and modest cost, enabling as many as hundreds of millions of doses to be supplied to African countries which are suffering a significant malaria burden.

@PrincipeProject

Oxford researchers spent the start of 2023 on the island of Príncipe, off the coast of West Africa, researching the island’s environmental history, and human-environment interactions throughout the island.

Here's some of the amazing things they saw 🧵⬇

📷 | @PrincipeProject

São Tomé and Príncipe have never been connected to mainland Africa; their relative isolation has allowed the evolution of species that aren’t found anywhere else.

These species remain relatively understudied – especially the smaller island of Príncipe.

During their expedition, the research team came across many different animals, such as the vibrant blue-breasted kingfisher (Halcyon malimbica) spotted from the Belo Monte Hotel terrace. 💙
