There are no currently approved vaccines for malaria, though treatment with 
irradiated malaria sporozoites does provide complete protection.  This isn't 
a generally useful technique, but it is used for reseachers and the like. 
There is quite a bit of research into a maleria vaccine underway, with 
several potential vaccines in field trials.  Incidently, some of the work 
is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.
