Vaccines are extremely cost-effective, giving kids a healthy start in life and supporting the economic and educational foundations of entire communities. They directly lead to a healthy workforce, which is so critical to long-term development and prosperity in all countries.

If you have a vaccine or an antidote that people can benefit from, you're not going to want to keep it to yourself. You're going to want to spread that wisdom or whatever to as many people as you can, so everybody can benefit from it.

We continue to recommend flu vaccine as the single best way to protect yourself against the flu. The vaccine will protect against strains covered in the vaccine, and it may have some effectiveness in the drifted strains.

The simple truth is, the short-term solution is for the FDA to allow more importation of safe vaccines from other nations. But the long-term solution is to get more vaccine production within the U.S.

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.

Shinya Yamanaka

I think that the discoveries of antibiotics and vaccines have contributed to the improvement of the quality of life, making it possible to prevent contagious diseases.

Japanese Scientist

The greatest grand challenge for any scientist is discovering how to prevent the spread of HIV and finding the cure or an effective vaccine for AIDS.

I view receiving the COVID-19 vaccine as part of my obligation to protect myself, members of my administration, and my family.

If only there was a vaccine to protect against breast cancer, we'd be lining up - wouldn't we?

Vaccines are safe, effective, and lifesaving.

Vaccines are designed to prevent, not cure diseases. They prepare the body to defend against future infections.

Preventive Purpose

Know some typical vaccines for frequent discussions about health: flu, measles, HPV are common examples.

Common Types

The word 'vaccine' is often used in medical or public health contexts, especially in news or discussions about epidemics.

Healthcare Context

 to get information from the public and get information out to them. We have satellite maps where we can see where people are and where they're moving. We have advances in biology that should dramatically change the turnaround time to look at a pathogen and be able to make drugs and vaccines that fit for that pathogen. So we can have tools,

 Other scientists are investigating alternate solutions, such as phage therapy or using vaccines to prevent infections. Most importantly, curbing the excessive and unnecessary use of antibiotics, such as for minor infections that can resolve on their own, as well as changing medical practice to prevent hospital infections,

What causes antibiotic...

 why is it that this conventional wisdom that the only good bat is a dead bat isn't actually doing its purpose. So, one of the most, I think, innovative and exciting ideas we've had in the last, really, six months is whether we can replace the poison that's used in the vampiricide with an oral rabies vaccine.

Why We Need to Change...

 whose study of microorganisms led to the development of the first vaccines. By challenging assumptions with data-driven research, these scientists discredited an age-old theory and sparked a revolution that was incredibly beneficial to public health. But all of this raises the question,

 with a hunch that this would provide the protection needed to save people from deadly outbreaks of the related smallpox virus. It was a success. The eight-year-old was inoculated against the disease and this became the first ever vaccine. But why did it work?

 even without a lab test. The lack of such practical diagnostic tools for diseases with non-specific symptoms, or that have long incubation periods, such as AIDS, makes their eradication more difficult. Third, the availability of a smallpox vaccine

Learning from smallpox:...

 is no more risky than older methods of genetic modification. These are precisely the same organizations that most of us trust when it comes to other important scientific issues such as global climate change or the safety of vaccines.

 their anti-drying technique, to survive other stresses. If we can understand how they, and other creatures, stabilize their sensitive biological molecules, perhaps we could apply this knowledge to help us stabilize vaccines,
