U.S. IMMUNIZATION NEWS
“West Nile Vaccine at Least Three Years off” Edmonton Journal (www.edmontonjournal.com) (07/12/03) P. B1; Ruttan, Susan
Acambis will move its experimental West Nile virus vaccine into human clinical trials this summer, but a marketable product will not enter the market for at least three years, according to spokeswoman Lyndsay Wright. Other companies are working on a West Nile vaccine, but Acambis is the first to move the drug into clinical trials. Encouraging results from pre-clinical trials give researchers hope about its eventual approval. The vaccine is based on the yellow fever vaccine and has a combination of genetically engineered yellow fever virus and West Nile virus. The National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases in the United States is working on a West Nile virus vaccine based on the dengue fever virus vaccine.

 "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 |
