Vaccine Blocks Malaria Transmission in Lab Experiments
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute have for the first time produced a malarial protein (Pfs48/45) in the proper conformation and quantity to generate a significant immune response in mice and non-human primates for use in a potential transmission-blocking vaccine. view more (2009-07-23)
Researchers discover strategy for predicting the immunity of vaccines
In the first study of its kind, researchers at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center and Emory Vaccine Center, Emory University, have developed a multidisciplinary approach involving immunology, genomics and bioinformatics to predict the immunity of a vaccine without exposing individuals to infection. view more (2008-11-24)
Experimental flu vaccine appears promising in early tests
An influenza vaccine produced with the use of insect cells appeared safe and produced an immunogenic response in healthy adults, suggesting promise as an alternative to using embryonated eggs for the development of influenza vaccine. view more (2007-04-11)

Using cold temperatures could help make quicker, cheaper and safer influenza vaccines, according to Dr Alison Whiteley at the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh today, Monday 7 April 2003. view more (2003-04-02)
Hospitalizations because of chicken pox down dramatically since implementation of vaccine
Since the introduction of the varicella (chicken pox) vaccine in 1995, hospitalizations and doctor visits because of chicken pox have dropped dramatically, according to a study in the August 17 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-08-17)
UT School of Public Health researchers discover significant efficacy of travelers' diarrhea vaccine
Researchers at The University of Texas School of Public Health have found that patients given a travelers' diarrhea vaccine were significantly less likely to suffer from clinically significant diarrhea than those who received placebo, according to a study published in this week's edition of the Lancet. The patch-based vaccine is part of the Phase... view more... (2008-06-12)

Rotavirus Vaccine Found Not Guilty (pp 1197, 1224)
Worldwide, some 600 000 to 800 000 infants die yearly from severe diarrhoea caused by a rotavirus. In the USA, each year, about 50 000 infants are admitted to hospital with rotavirus infection, and of these about 20 die. These figures make a clear case for the need for a safe and effective vaccine against rotavirus infection. Such a vaccine... view more... (2001-10-10)

A novel anti-tumor vaccine for neuroblastoma and melanoma developed by scientists and clinicians at Children's National Medical Center in collaboration with investigators from the University of Iowa is showing significant impact on tumor growth in mice. view more (2008-10-03)
Q-Fever: A global health risk
The decision to stop production of the vaccine for Q-Fever will leave Australia and the international community vulnerable to the health risks of Q-Fever infection, according to one of the country's leading researchers. view more (2005-12-01)
Increase seen in pneumococcal infections not covered by childhood vaccine
Alaska Native children are experiencing increased rates of serious infections caused by strains of pneumococcal bacteria that are not covered by the current childhood pneumococcal vaccine, indicating the importance of ongoing surveillance of vaccine effectiveness. view more (2007-04-25)
Good bacteria can be EZ Pass for oral vaccine against anthrax
Researchers at North Carolina State University have discovered that the good bacteria found in dairy products and linked to positive health benefits in the human body might also be an effective vehicle for an oral vaccine that can provide immunity to anthrax exposure. view more (2009-02-17)
First steps towards a vaccine for pancreatic cancer
Research carried out in the United States has raised the hope that one day there could be a vaccine against pancreatic cancer - one of the most difficult cancers to treat successfully. view more (2003-09-20)
Innovative method for creating a human cytomegalovirus vaccine outlined
Each year, about 40,000 children are born infected with human cytomegalovirus, or CMV, and about 8,000 of these children suffer permanent disabilities due to the virus - almost one an hour. view more (2006-08-01)
UGA researchers one step closer to cancer vaccine
When cells become cancerous, the sugars on their surfaces undergo distinct changes that set them apart from healthy cells. For decades, scientists have tried to exploit these differences by training the immune system to attack cancerous cells before they can spread and ravage the body. view more (2007-10-30)
Benefits of flu vaccine substantially overestimated says study
Studies of influenza vaccine effectiveness in elderly people substantially overestimate vaccine benefits, according to new research from the US published today in the International Journal of Epidemiology (IJE), edited at the University of Bristol. view more (2005-12-21)
Children in care less likely to get meningitis vaccine
Children looked after by local authorities are twice as unlikely to receive meningococcal C vaccine than children at home, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers identified the immunisation status of all children in nine health districts in the United Kingdom. Because universal childhood meningococcal C vaccination was introduced in... view more... (2003-02-12)
Study by Pittsburgh researchers identifies possible vaccine target for chlamydia
