In the past year, 3,300 cases of measles were reported in Europe. Most of them were entirely preventable.
Some people have objected to childhood vaccination since it was introduced in the late 1700s. And their reasons sound remarkably familiar to those of anti-vaxxers today.
This antivirus software protects health, not computers. Researchers are beginning to combat deadly infections using computer-generated antiviral proteins – a valuable tool to fight a future pandemic.
Vaccinating against an infectious disease can stop once the threat of future transmission is deemed sufficiently low.
President Trump wants to slash global health funding at a time when more investment is needed, not less. This spending can protect Americans – as well as foreigners – from deadly diseases.
To tackle diseases like meningitis, African governments must find fresh ways to fight for lower cost vaccines.
European countries are among the most sceptical of vaccinations – so how do they stay on top of the problem?
You may not know anyone with an infectious disease covered by the immunizations on the 2017 list of recommended vaccines. Here’s why that doesn’t matter, and why children still need to be protected.
Speaking on the ABC program Insiders, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson suggested there are tests available to see if children will have an adverse reaction to vaccinations. We asked three experts.
As the goat plague is a trans-boundary disease, there’s concern that it will spill over into neighbouring countries such as Rwanda and Burundi.
A vaccine to prevent cancer was long a dream for those who treat the disease. But fewer than half of all girls and even fewer boys have been vaccinated. Cancer specialists hope this will soon change.
Flu virus mutates so quickly that one year’s vaccine won’t work on the next year’s common strains. But a new way to create vaccines, called ‘rational design,’ might pave the way for more lasting solutions.
The final trials of the first effective Ebola vaccine show it’s safe to use against an outbreak.
Universal flu vaccines have reached the stage where they are no longer just a ‘hopeful hypothesis’.
Postage-stamp sized patches that target vaccines to the immune system are now in clinical trials.
Our immune system protects us but when it comes to some mosquito-borne disease, it can work against us. What are the implications for the development of a Zika virus vaccine?
For the next five years South Africa will be leading one of the latest large-scale trials for a vaccine for HIV.
Getting a flu shot reduces your risk of getting the flu, and it also helps the community. Here’s why.
The long vaccine development process is focused on ensuring production of the safest and most effective vaccine for use.
