Geneva: The World Health Organization said on Monday that its experts had recommended a second malaria vaccine for children, R21/Matrix-M, developed by Britain's Oxford University.

"As a malaria researcher, I used to dream of the day we would have a safe and effective vaccine against malaria. Now we have two," said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
