Q11. What is the treatment for malaria? Are there any vaccines available? +

The treatment for malaria involves the use of prescribed antimalarial medication, mainly Artemisinin Combined Therapy (ACT). The dosage and type of medication will depend on a variety of factors, including age and type of malaria. In cases of pregnant women, please consult a doctor if one experiences malaria-like symptoms.

There is no commercially available vaccine against malaria today. While several vaccine candidates are currently under research and development worldwide, one should continue to take adequate precautions to prevent mosquito bites and malaria.
