Patarroyo hoped to create an affordable vaccine that could help protect people around the world. Although the vaccine showed some initial promise, later studies found that its effectiveness was limited. In 1993, he offered the vaccine to the World Health Organization to support international research and public health efforts.

Throughout his career, Patarroyo received several important awards for his scientific work. In 1994, he won the Prince of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research. He dedicated many years to medical research and encouraged the development of science in Colombia. His work attracted international attention and generated discussions about the challenges of developing effective vaccines.

He died on January 9, 2025, at the age of 78, in Bogotá, Colombia. However, his contributions to scientific research remain part of the country's history. Today, Manuel Elkin Patarroyo is remembered as a Colombian scientist who devoted his life to studying infectious diseases and searching for new ways to protect human health. His story highlights the importance of scientific curiosity, perseverance, and continued research.
