Scientists in South Africa are on the brink of developing the world's first effective tuberculosis vaccine for adolescents and adults, a breakthrough that could prevent 76 million infections globally. African leaders visited the groundbreaking research site and called for urgent investment to prepare the continent for mass vaccine rollout.
Moderna and Merck just achieved the first successful late-stage trial of an mRNA cancer vaccine for melanoma, opening doors for more affordable universal cancer treatments. The breakthrough validates technology that could one day make fighting cancer as simple as getting a shot.
After 14 years of research, scientists achieved the strongest HIV-neutralizing antibody responses ever seen in primates, bringing hope for an effective vaccine. The breakthrough could finally give the immune system tools to fight a virus that has evaded prevention efforts for decades.
A tetanus-diphtheria vaccine that stays effective for two years without refrigeration has passed its first human safety trial. The breakthrough could help vaccines reach millions in remote areas where keeping medicines cold is nearly impossible.
After a century with only one TB vaccine, three promising candidates are in final trials, led by South African researchers who could deliver a breakthrough by 2028. The new vaccines could prevent millions of deaths from a disease that still kills over 1.5 million people yearly.
Scientists just proved that an AI-designed vaccine can trigger a human immune response, marking the first time a computer-created vaccine has worked in people. This breakthrough could revolutionize how we develop vaccines for future diseases.

Professor Willem Hanekom is co-leading a 20,000-person global trial for the world's most promising TB vaccine while directing Africa's largest health research institute. Living openly with HIV for 19 years, he's dedicated his career to bringing life-saving treatments to underresourced communities.
A new flu vaccine using the same technology that powered COVID shots just proved more effective than traditional options in a 40,000-person study. The breakthrough could reshape how we protect ourselves from seasonal flu.
Scientists achieved something that's never happened before: an HIV vaccine that starts working after just one dose. The breakthrough could transform how we fight a virus that's challenged researchers for decades.
Scientists at Harvard have created a new DNA origami vaccine that works as well as mRNA shots but doesn't need freezers and is simpler to manufacture. The breakthrough could make life-saving vaccines accessible to millions more people worldwide.
South Africa is preparing to roll out a groundbreaking tuberculosis vaccine for adults that could become the first new TB vaccine in over a century. The M72/AS01E vaccine is currently in Phase 3 trials across five countries and could help eliminate TB as a public health threat by 2030.
After 14 years of research, San Diego scientists developed an HIV vaccine that successfully triggered virus-fighting antibodies in nearly half of the primates tested. The breakthrough could lead to the first effective HIV vaccine for humans within years.
Scientists at Stanford Medicine have developed a breakthrough nasal spray vaccine that protects against multiple respiratory threats at once, from COVID-19 and flu to bacterial infections and even allergies. In mice, the experimental vaccine provided months of broad protection by supercharging the lungs' natural defenses instead of targeting specific pathogens.
A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine combined with existing treatment stopped melanoma from returning in a major clinical trial. The breakthrough could open a powerful new way to fight cancer using the same technology that powered COVID vaccines.
A 1920s tuberculosis vaccine is helping people with autoimmune diabetes reduce their insulin use in a breakthrough trial. The discovery adds to growing evidence that certain vaccines protect against diseases far beyond their original targets.
Five years after Africa introduced its first malaria vaccine, a new study shows the shots are preventing one in eight deaths among young children in vaccinated areas. The breakthrough comes as 25 African countries now include the vaccine in childhood immunization programs, reaching more than 10 million children each year.
Scientists at the University of Georgia have proven their groundbreaking vaccine can protect against a deadly drug-resistant fungus that kills millions worldwide. The breakthrough brings hope for the world's first effective vaccine against fatal fungal infections.
A personalized cancer vaccine using the same mRNA technology that powered COVID vaccines just proved it works in major trials, tripling Moderna's stock price in one day. For melanoma patients, it's the breakthrough they've been waiting for.
A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine developed by Moderna and Merck has shown remarkable success in preventing melanoma from returning. The breakthrough sent Moderna's stock soaring 90% and offers new hope for treating cancer beyond COVID vaccines.
A personalized cancer vaccine has stopped deadly skin cancer from returning in patients, marking what scientists call a pivotal breakthrough in treatment. The experimental jab uses the same mRNA technology that powered COVID vaccines to target cancer cells.
