Use of a combination vaccine increased on-time immunization rates in infants
Results from a retrospective observational study of data among members of a managed care health plan in Utah showed that infants who received a combination vaccine had significantly higher rates of receiving all of their vaccinations on-time in the first two years of life compared to infants given separate component vaccines. Results from the study were presented today at the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy's (AMCP) 18th Annual Conference in Seattle, WA, by Laura Happe, Pharm.D., M.P.H., associate director at Applied Health Outcomes, a research strategy company in Palm Harbor, FL. This study was conducted by Applied Health Outcomes.

A solution to increase the efficacy of vaccines
Researchers have demonstrated a technique that has the potential to reduce the toxicity of vaccines and to make smaller doses more effective, according to a study published in PLoS Pathogens. Developing vaccines is fraught with challenges, particularly because many candidates carry a high risk of toxic side effects. For example, twenty percent of people immunized against smallpox will suffer side effects. Wilfred Jefferies, a researcher at the University of British Columbia and senior author of the study, and his colleagues have shown that boosting the production of TAP, an immune system component, can make smaller doses of vaccines more effective.
