This study is based on the design and analysis of a novel age- and dose-structured model for assessing the population-level impact of the recently-approved R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine (which is administered in three doses followed by a booster dose) on controlling the spread of malaria in children under five in Burkina Faso. While the current malaria vaccination program in Burkina Faso prioritizes children 0-3 years of age (Group 1 in our model), we also assessed a hypothetical scenario where c...
