The findings support prioritizing deployment of PBO-based nets and organophosphate-based indoor residual spraying, along with continuous surveillance to guide intervention strategies toward malaria elimination.

However, limited RTS,S/AS01 availability prevents some approved countries from receiving required doses, raising vaccine equity concerns.
