Help to create an accurate message for children about the malaria vaccine

Dear Friends,

We need to update our 10 messages on malaria for children to learn and share to include the vaccine. We have an idea about combining two of our current messages to make space for this new message so that we will still have 10.

Here is our current idea.

*Malaria vaccines help protect young children from getting very sick from mosquito bites.*

Do we have experts here who can help improve upon this message? If it helps I can also send on the other 9 messages so that you can understand the message in context.

Thanks so much in advance for your help.
