New insights could lead to a better pneumococcal vaccine
Discovery of a new, previously unknown mechanism of immunity suggests that there may be a better way to protect vulnerable children and adults against Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcal) infection, say researchers at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). view more (2008-09-23)
Inhaled tuberculosis vaccine more effective than traditional shot
A novel aerosol version of the most common tuberculosis (TB) vaccine, administered directly to the lungs as an oral mist, offers significantly better protection against the disease in experimental animals than a comparable dose of the traditional injected vaccine, researchers report this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-03-13)

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)

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)
Biodegradable microspheres deliver time release vaccines, stimulate different immune response
A new vaccine delivery system using microspheres of a biodegradable polymer may not only reduce the need for booster shots in some cases, but also appears to stimulate an immune response that traditional vaccines do not. view more (2007-03-01)

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

Bird-flu vaccine works at high doses; Focus turns to ways to stretch vaccine supply
An experimental vaccine against bird flu is safe and spurs the immune response considered necessary to protect against the deadly illness, at a dose several times larger than the traditional flu shot and in slightly more than half of people who received the largest dose. view more (2006-03-30)
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)
Researchers identify new way the malaria parasite and red blood cells interact
Virginia Commonwealth University Life Sciences researchers have discovered a new mechanism the malaria parasite uses to enter human red blood cells, which could lead to the development of a vaccine cocktail to fight the mosquito-borne disease. view more (2009-03-11)
Resisting lung cancer recurrence
What if we could prevent cancer recurrence for years after surgery by giving simple recall injections every two or three years" This concept may no longer be a fantasy. view more (2008-02-05)
