►March 2, 2004 - New Acambis CEO Announces Four-Fold Increase in Profits - press release - Acambis plc via PRNewswire-FirstCall via Yahoo! - "In developing new vaccines against infectious diseases, Acambis is aiming to maximise the value of its products by retaining rights to those vaccines for as long as possible.

►February 1, 2004 - Healthy Traveler -Which shots to get - Need for immunizations depends on such factors as destination, the traveler's health and previous vaccines. (requires registration) - The Los Angeles Times - "Figuring out which immunizations one needs for a trip abroad isn't simple, travel medicine physicians note. It depends on several factors, including the traveler's health, previous vaccines, the destination and where the traveler plans to stay and visit."

Comment:  Note that according to one source, "The severity of side effects among all vaccine recipients was low, though Jelinek cautioned that people with autoimmune diseases like lupus and Graves’ disease should be careful, as stimulation of the immune system by vaccines can cause episodes of their diseases."
