President Alberto Fernández confirms Argentina and Mexico will co-produce millions of doses of a coronavirus vaccine developed by scientists at the University of Oxford and Swedish-British pharma firm AstraZeneca. President Alberto Fernández has announced that Argentina and Mexico will co-produce millions of doses of a coronavirus vaccine developed by the AstraZeneca pharmaceutical firm and scientists at the University of Oxford, with it potentially reaching citizens across Latin America in the first quarter of next year. The Peronist leader, speaking at a press conference at the Olivos presidential residence on Wednesday, said that the two countries would be in charge of the “Latin American production” and distribution of a vaccine created by the prestigious British university and Swedish-British pharmaceutical group. Argentina will be in charge of producing “the active substance,” said Fernández, with Mexico finishing “production and packaging.” He said that the country “could be in a position to vaccinate” by the ...
US expert Dr Anthony Fauci says it should be known by early December if vaccine is safe to roll out Nurses on a Covid-19 ward in Merseyside, north-west England. Healthcare workers and people most at risk will be prioritised for first doses of a vaccine. Photograph: Peter Byrne/PA Hopes are rising that a coronavirus vaccine will be approved by the end of the year, with healthcare workers receiving their first dose in early 2021. Dr Anthony Fauci, the US’s leading expert in infectious diseases, said on Sunday it should be known by the end of November or early December if a vaccine was safe and effective. The Irish government added to the growing optimism that a vaccine would soon be available. “I’m increasingly optimistic, as is government, that we will see a vaccine approved in the next couple of months and that in the first half or first quarter of next ...
Last month, Russia announced the approval of a COVID-19 vaccine called Sputnik V. This week, President Vladimir Putin announced the approval of a second vaccine, called EpiVacCorona. As with the first, scientists have not yet tested this vaccine in phase 3 trials. The vaccine was developed by scientists at the State Virology and Biotechnology Center, known as Vektor, in Novosibirsk. According to The Moscow Times: “Early trials on 100 volunteers were said to have been successful.” In a televised news conference, Putin explained that researchers had given the vaccine to Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova and the head of Russia’s consumer safety watchdog, Anna Popova, as part of ongoing trials. During the briefing, they explained that: “Early trials on 100 volunteers were said to have been successful.” As with Sputnik V, experts are likely to view the new vaccine with skepticism. Vaccines must be rigorously investigated before they can be used widely, and ...
(CNN)A Covid-19 vaccine developed by the biotechnology company Moderna in partnership with the National Institutes of Health has been found to induce immune responses in all of the volunteers who received it in a Phase 1 study.
In different parts of the world, scientists are racing to develop a vaccine for coronavirus (COVID-19). A lot is at stake as governments worldwide are in a frenzy to prevent the spread of the virus in key hotspots.
Vaccines are a central player in our fight against infectious diseases. What components are commonly found in vaccines, and what is their purpose? In this Special Feature article, we find out. Why do some vaccines have a long list of components? Many people will be familiar with the concept that a vaccine against a particular virus will contain a small amount of the pathogen or a part of it, at least. When we receive the vaccine, the viral interloper triggers our immune system to launch a series of events that leave us protected against the pathogen in the future. But a glance at the ingredients in common vaccines reveals a long list of other components, the roles of which might not seem so clear cut. What is the purpose of the likes of gelatin, thimerosal, and Polysorbate 80? And why do some vaccines contain aluminum? In this Special Feature article, ...

To understand the relation between vaccines and autism, one must understand what Autism Spectrum Disorder is. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a disability encountered by children and young adults during their developmental stages. It results from discrepancies in the functions of the brain.
Since their discovery in the 18th Century, vaccines have been a boon to medicine in its fight against deadly infectious diseases despite skeptical claims against it. They have controlled several and eradicated a number of infections globally.
