INTERNATIONAL IMMUNIZATION NEWS
"New Vaccine Development" British Medical Journal (www.bmj.com) (06/01/02) Vol. 324, No. 7349, P. 1315; Poland, Gregory A.
Over the next decade-and-a-half, new developments in vaccine delivery technology and vaccines will completely alter the way doctors treat and prevent disease, with a major impact on public health. For example, new therapeutic and prophylactic vaccines will prevent and possibly cure disease by giving people the immunological tools they need to fight illnesses. Advances in adult acellular pertussis vaccines, nasal spray vaccines for the flu, and conjugated pneumococcal vaccines for adults will provide an effective way to produce protective immunity for people for several years. In addition, the development of vaccines against cocaine and nicotine dependence, as well as such non-infectious diseases as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer will provide alternative treatments. Advances in DNA vaccines are also expected to make it possible to develop vaccines against biological weapons. The creation of new vaccine delivery technology--such as oral, nasal, depot, and transcutaneous delivery--will make the delivery of vaccines easier without taking away from the efficacy of the drug. Research is also being conducted on vaccines to fight such diseases as tuberculosis, shigella, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, dengue, hookworm, and malaria, that ravage the Third World.

 "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 |
