A major new study of 434 children brings reassuring news for pregnant mothers: getting the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine during pregnancy shows no link to autism or developmental delays. The research tracked children up to 30 months old and found identical outcomes whether mothers received the vaccine or not.
Scientists are fast-tracking three promising vaccines to fight the Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda, with clinical trials starting within months. New funding of $62 million is speeding up development of the first vaccines specifically designed for the Bundibugyo virus strain.
African researchers are racing to develop the continent's first chikungunya vaccine designed specifically for children and local populations. Rwanda is leading a four-year, $17 million partnership across four African nations to test and eventually manufacture the life-saving vaccine.
An FDA committee greenlighted next year's flu vaccine formulation this week, maintaining the proven update process while vaccine policy debates swirl in Washington. The decision keeps Americans on track for seasonal flu protection.
A Saskatchewan team has developed a groundbreaking vaccine that protects cattle from tuberculosis without interfering with disease testing. If approved, MSX-1 would be the world's first licensed bovine TB vaccine.
Researchers worldwide are developing vaccines that could protect against multiple flu strains for years, ending the need for annual shots. Around a dozen candidates are already in clinical trials.
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.
After decades of neglect, multiple research teams worldwide are finally developing vaccines for hantavirus, with some entering animal trials this summer. What was once considered uncommercial is now gaining momentum, potentially protecting millions in affected regions within years.
The FDA suddenly agreed to review Moderna's revolutionary mRNA flu vaccine after initially rejecting it just a week earlier. Meanwhile, scientists developed an inhaled vaccine that could protect against multiple respiratory illnesses at once.
Scientists at Stanford Medicine have developed a nasal spray vaccine that protects mice against flu, COVID, allergies, and other respiratory threats for months. If it works in humans, one spray each fall could replace multiple annual shots.
Ghana's parliament just created a special group to make sure every child gets life-saving vaccines, no matter what. The 11-member team will fight to keep vaccine funding steady as the country grows more independent.
Since the HPV vaccine became available in 2006, cervical cancer rates have dropped 27% among young American women, with some states seeing reductions over 50%. Every 10% increase in vaccination rates translates to nearly 12% fewer cancer cases.
Scientists developed a nasal spray vaccine that protected mice from COVID, flu, bacteria, and even allergens for months. Unlike typical vaccines, it activates the body's first-line defense system to fight multiple threats at once.
Abu Dhabi is teaming up with global pharmaceutical company Sanofi to build a cutting-edge Vaccine Innovation Centre powered by artificial intelligence and mRNA technology. The facility will combine research, manufacturing, and pandemic preparedness under one roof to accelerate life-saving vaccine development.
A global research team discovered exactly why a tiny number of people developed blood clots after certain COVID-19 vaccines, and their breakthrough points the way to even safer vaccines. The answer lies in a single mutation that misdirects the immune system in extraordinarily rare cases.
A new study of over 500,000 nursing home residents found that people who received the Shingrix shingles vaccine were 24% less likely to develop dementia. This common vaccine could prevent one in 17 dementia cases while also protecting against painful shingles infections.
The FDA reversed its decision and will now review Moderna's groundbreaking mRNA flu vaccine, marking a potential leap forward in flu prevention. This could bring the same technology that revolutionized COVID vaccines to seasonal flu shots.
Scientists at Washington University have created a nose spray vaccine that completely protected mice and hamsters from bird flu infection, offering hope for preventing the next pandemic. The vaccine works better than traditional flu shots and stays effective even in people who've had previous flu vaccines.
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.
A rigorous study of 434 toddlers finds no connection between mRNA COVID vaccines during pregnancy and autism or developmental delays. The research offers strong reassurance for expectant mothers making vaccine decisions.
