Penn Study Paves Way for New Vaccines to Protect Infants Against Infections
A new Penn Medicine study puts researchers within closer reach of vaccines that can protect infants against infections by overcoming a mother’s antibodies, which are known to shut down immune defenses initiated by conventional vaccines. That hurdle largely explains why vaccinations for infectious diseases like influenza and measles not given until six to 12 months of age. Findings from the preclinical study were published online today in Science Translational Medicine.
Children’s Hospital Colorado uncovers largest US outbreak of neurologic disease to date

Egg-based flu vaccines: Not all they’re cracked up to be?
Flu season is underway in the Northern Hemisphere, sickening millions of people and in rare cases, causing hospitalization or death. The best prevention is a flu shot, but it’s not unusual for these vaccines to be less effective than intended.…

Delivering TB Vaccine Intravenously Dramatically Improves Potency, Study Shows
Worldwide, more people die from tuberculosis than any other infectious disease, even though the vast majority were vaccinated. The vaccine just isn’t that reliable. But a new Nature study finds that simply changing the way the vaccine is administered could dramatically boost its protective power.
