HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that the malarial vaccine is still nor fully prepared and it is under trial or under research work, and right now this is not possible, but of course malaria can be prevented if prophylaxis be given and taken care for mosquito bite, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
