"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) There is currently no vaccine licensed for prevention of malaria. However, there are candidate vaccines in various stages of clinical trials. This research is being carried on in 14 countries in Africa, and its results are expected to be out in the year 2013. If the trials turn out to be successful, it is anticipated that the first vaccine to be licensed for malaria prevention in children will become available from the year 2015. (b) The Government of Kenya is not using vaccines as a tool for malaria prevention in children, because none has yet been approved for that use. Currently, there is no vaccine licensed for the prevention of malaria in children. (c) My Ministry is a stakeholder in the current vaccine research that is ongoing, and the relevant organisations are working on frameworks for incorporation of a malaria vaccine into routine immunization schedule for children in malaria-prone areas, if and when the vaccine is approved for use in this age group. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
