Battling Malaria: Strengthening the U.S. Military Malaria Vaccine Program

Appendix B
Current Requirements for a Malaria Vaccine

The current requirements for a Plasmodium falciparum vaccine are formulated in a U.S. Army Operational Requirements Document (ORD) dated March 13, 1997, which has now expired and will be replaced by a Capability Development Document (CDD) that is currently (January 2006) in draft. Although these documents have been prepared under the auspices of the U.S. Army, the requirements are no different for the Navy and Marines. The table below shows the requirements as they stand in the expired ORD and the draft CDD.
