Respiratory vaccine for infants is still a long way offViral infections of the lower respiratory tract impose a considerable burden on healthcare budgets. Van Wonsel and colleagues (p 36) review their epidemiology, symptoms, and treatment in infections in young children. They conclude that viral lower respiratory tract infections are mild and self limiting in most cases, and that treatment is mainly supportive, but varies widely worldwide. Apart from influenza vaccine, research into vaccination has mainly focused on respiratory syncytial virus. Although progress has been made, particularly with live attenuated vaccines, it will be another decade before routine vaccination is available. © 2003 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd Return to Vaccination News Home Page __» Right-click to "open in new window" DISCLAIMER: All information, data, and material contained, presented, or provided here is for general information purposes only and is not to be construed as reflecting the knowledge or opinions of the publisher, and is not to be construed or intended as providing medical or legal advice.

 "A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C. Jarvis, September 28, 1820 "What's the point of vaccination if it doesn't protect you from the unvaccinated?" -- Sandy Gottstein "Who gets to decide what the greater good is and how many will be sacrificed to it?" -- Sandy Gottstein |
