    AbstractRampant and prevalent deployment of an efficient malaria vaccine in Pakistan, together with basic control and preventive measures, could significantly decrease the economic and healthcare burden caused by drug-resistant malaria. Moreover, RTS, S/AS01 vaccine has attained a much-needed breakthrough after decades of growth, as an innovative vaccine for malaria in Phase III clinical trials, and presently undergoing implementation studies. So far Gavi, WHO, and other stakeholders are contemplating on the practical issues, risk-benefit, and cost-effectiveness in resource-limited settings of vaccine implementation capacity. Imminent advances, like using a delayed as well as enhanced protection, divided schedule for dosing, and alternate adjuvants are likely to attain the vital goal of eradication of malaria. Vaccination is a potentially critical component of efforts to arrest the development and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance; though little is known about the impact vaccination may have within low-and-middle-income countries. Key Words: Antimicrobial resistance, Malaria, Vaccine.
