Two vaccines, ChAd63 ME-TRAP and MVA ME-TRAP, are being tested to see if they will form a safe and effective vaccination strategy against malaria. The vaccines have been found to be well tolerated when tested in Gambian adults, young children and infants, who are at risk of severe malaria. Both vaccines will be given to participating infants at the same time as some EPI (Expanded Program on Immunization) vaccines, and assess whether they are safe and still helpful in making the body's defense system respond.
