AIDS is nothing like polio, measles, smallpox or any other viral infection in humans for which a vaccine has been created. 3. Growing the outer covering without the inner viral nuclear material is an essential step in creating vaccines. 4. However, most investigators had little hope of creating a vaccine against it. 5. Indeed, efforts to create new vaccines represent one of the most active areas of medical research. 6. It singled out his pivotal role in creating a vaccine against the hepatitis B virus. 7. Rapidly growing economies like China and Brazil have far greater capacity to absorb the overhead in creating vaccines than subsistence economies like Bhutan and Somalia. 8. Such information is needed to help create a vaccine. 9. The apparent purpose was to create a vaccine effective against a natural anthrax strain that produced these toxins. 10. The Russian anthrax work was reportedly aimed at creating a vaccine against a lethal naturally occurring strain of the disease. |
