Malaria is the most dangerous disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite, which occurs in different endemic and non-endemic areas of the world, where it can cause different clinical complications that can end in death. Due to the number of people affected by malaria in different countries, vaccination is considered the only way to prevent infection by reducing the number of people dying and eliminating malaria from different areas despite the development of resistance to drug treatments antiparasitics that have been used to control the disease. A variety of vaccines have been under development in recent years, but many of them have achieved more successful results than others and some of them have been discontinued in research due to poor results and possible side effects. In the present investigation, it was proposed to carry out a review on the subject, and also to propose an educational intervention strategy that allows the population to be made aware of the importance of vaccination and the prevention of this disease in the communities. Experts were consulted for the educational proposal, for information processing the Saaty AHP multi-criteria decision method was used too.

Keywords : Malaria; Plasmodium; Plasmodium falciparum; Plasmodium vivax; vaccines; educational strategy; Saaty.
