unique viruses hiv
The nature of a protective immune response to HIV is still unclear. Because in a very, very unique manner, unlike virtually any other microbe with which we're familiar, the HIV virus has evolved in a way that the immune system finds it very difficult, if not impossible, to deal with the virus.
ebola vaccines viruses
The launch of phase 1 Ebola vaccine studies is a first step in developing a vaccine that could be licensed and used in the field to protect not only the front line health care workers but also those living in areas where Ebola virus exists.
cancer goal body
The immune systems goal is to protect the body against invaders either from without, such as microbes, or from within, such as cancers and different types of neoplastic transformation.
children thinking data
The Europeans have lots of data on the use of adjuvanted flu vaccine in the elderly, but I dont think anybody has really good data on adjuvants in children.

country effort political
Previous efforts to eradicate malaria failed for several reasons, including political instability and technical challenges in delivering resources, especially in certain countries in Africa.
children vaccines remember
When I was a child, there were not that many vaccines. I was vaccinated for polio. I actually got measles as a child. I got pertussis, whooping cough. I remember that very well.
ebola today way
Today we know the best way to prevent the spread of Ebola infection is through public health measures.
vaccines impact epidemics
Although it is still important to develop an HIV vaccine, we have significant tools already at our disposal that can make a major impact on the trajectory of this epidemic.
mean world pandemics
A pandemic influenza would mean widespread infection essentially throughout every region of the world.
mind resources phenomenal
Science is telling us that we can do phenomenal things if we put our minds and our resources to it.
course early
We now know that these reservoirs are established very early in the course of infection.
along anthrax attack chain learned people vulnerable
What we learned from the mail-service anthrax attack of 2001 is that you really have to look at the vulnerable people along the chain of exposure.
albeit good high immune news spur vaccine
We have a vaccine we know can spur an immune response, albeit at very high doses. We're going in the right direction. The sobering news is we have a long way to go. So it's muted good news.
