The correct answer is Malaria.
In October 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended the widespread use of the RTS,S/AS01 (RTS,S) malaria vaccine among children in sub-Saharan Africa and other regions with moderate to high *Plasmodium falciparum* malaria transmission. This marked the first time the WHO had recommended a malaria vaccine for widespread use, making it the “world’s first vaccine against malaria” to receive such a recommendation for implementation.
