Several vaccine stories from other parts of the world
Posted by Sappho on April 26th, 2007 filed in HPV vaccine, Vaccinations
I’m failing in my promise to put together vaccination-related posts this week, so here’s a linky one. The links are ones I’ve collected for several months and not gotten around to blogging; today I’m just doing the ones that particularly concern countries other than the US.
Malaria Vaccine Primes Victims’ Blood to Eliminate Parasite From Mosquitoes
Progress Toward Poliomyelitis Eradication — Pakistan and Afghanistan, January 2006–February 2007
Elimination of Measles — South Korea, 2001–2006
At some point, maybe this weekend, I want to do a more thorough post on the polio eradication effort in particular; if you guys have any links I should look at when I do this, feel free to suggest them in the comments. And I think I also want to do a post on what’s been going on with the search for a malaria vaccine.
