Dragging your 10-year-old to get a vaccine for a sexually transmitted disease could have some groups pretty upset.
Al Rauch
180 quotes about vaccine follow in order of popularity. Be sure to bookmark and share your favorites!
That would make for a much quicker response to a flu outbreak, and would help move vaccine technology into the 21st century. Right now vaccine technology is in the middle of the 20th century. It just doesn't make sense to rely on outdated methods that have been around 40 years.
John Mccamant
The speed of vaccine development will be particularly crucial when the next pandemic arrives.
Peter Palese
That's more than three years ago. We're not sure if the old vaccine is starting to wear off or he may have a strain of meningococcal bacteria not covered by that vaccine.
Guillermo Cole
Development of a safe and effective rotavirus vaccine has been a worldwide priority since the virus was discovered in the 1970s. It became clear at that time that it was one of the major killers of children, and there was no effective treatment.
David Matson
The good news is that we have a vaccine that can induce an immune response. But the sobering news is . . . we have a long way to go.
Anthony S. Fauci
This trial confirms that a vaccine can give young women a high level of protection from developing precancerous lesions and early cervical cancers.
Laura Koutsky
We should have all the necessary flu vaccine serum by mid November.
Amy Johnson
No one is really sure why people are being infected. This is usually a very effective vaccine.
Stephanie Marquis
Full liability protection is a requirement for our participation in the development and production of a pandemic vaccine.
Len Lavenda
The importance of doing this work can't be overstated. The fact that we're still using a vaccine developed in the early 1920s for a disease as serious as TB is a real shortcoming.
Helene Gayle
Are we adequately prepared? ... No. We do not yet have a vaccine ready to go. If the pandemic happened next week, the public would be outraged that we waited and ignored the concerns and now people in every neighborhood were dying.
Greg Poland
I'm not trying to infringe on your personal right to make a decision about whether you want a vaccine or not. I'm really trying to protect patients.
Dr. Trish Perl
Creating a vaccine to prevent transmission of HIV, or at least to limit its pathogenic and epidemic potential, is one of the great challenges of our time.
Bette Korber
It seems to me the number one vaccine policy question has as much to do with ethics as science.
Arthur Caplan
I'm real proud of our staff and health care providers for the way that everyone worked together to distribute the vaccine to those in the most need.
Glenn Martin
We're aiming at 20-million doses of a pre-pandemic vaccine but to develop the capacity to be able to make 300-million doses within six months of when we ultimately get the latest version of it that is the real killer.
Anthony S. Fauci
In a worst case scenario, even if there is no vaccine developed, there are still ways you can protect yourself.
Dennis Klukan
An intranasal pandemic vaccine may help facilitate and expedite influenza vaccinations for more Americans in the event of a pandemic outbreak.
James Young
The problem with the original vaccine is when given to kids over 7, it caused some pretty severe reactions.
Paul Offit
Those with questions should talk to their health care provider. If they go to a college, check with their student health center and see if a vaccine is available.
Dr. Tina Stefanski
The vaccine is working. The vaccine certainly was made to cover this particular strain because it's a fairly common strain of mumps.
Patricia Quinlisk
Bird flu is something we should be prepared for, but even if a pandemic never happens, everything we learn now from this vaccine can be applied to vaccines for other emerging infectious diseases.
Dr Andrea Gambotto
I am not optimistic in the least. I think that our vaccine supply this year will be equal to or less than last year.
John Cohen
If we stockpile vaccine against a bug that doesn't affect us directly we may end up having to discard it.
Marc Siegel
We do not expect any shortages. As far as we know, there is equitable distribution across the country. We have not heard reports of anyone not having vaccine at all.
Lola Russell
The previous vaccine we developed was a strain obtained in Vietnam from 2004. The vaccine against the Vietnam virus would not be the most appropriate to protect against the Indonesia-like viruses.
Ruben Donis
The anthrax vaccine is very effective and safe.
Charlie Stoltenow
This is a very potent vaccine. The results of this animal trial are very promising.
Dr Andrea Gambotto
Compared with 61-million (doses) last year, we're not expecting a shortage. We do understand that with the delays in distribution of the flu vaccine, some people will have to wait until November or December to get vaccine.
Lola Russell
The conventional vaccine works only for the antibodies, which are (the) bullets. Our vaccine goes after antibodies and D-cells -- the soldiers. So you have the soldiers and the bullets, which could actually go after the pathogen.
Vijay Samant
So 900 million in 8 months will not reach the target of global, equitable and timely access. One needs enough vaccine for 6.4 billion people and that is currently not in the cards.
Klaus Stohr
There's a lot of people who should not be vaccinated with smallpox vaccine.
Robert Belshe
God knows we need a vaccine against traveler's diarrhea. This approach is very straightforward and seems to work.
Paul Offit
We still have vaccine left. It's not too late.
Dr. Doug Moore
Increased demand is not a bad thing. With more demand, manufacturers will make more vaccine.
Lola Russell
It really slides off after Thanksgiving. There's no incentive for manufacturers to keep making the vaccine.
Steve Wright
Persons who live in households who have people with immunosuppressive conditions or taking drugs for cancer, chemotherapy for example, or households who have an infant less than 1 year of age, these kinds of persons should not take smallpox vaccine.
Robert Belshe
The high end, if that (97-million) is reached, it will be the largest amount of flu vaccine ever made.
Lola Russell
Currently, here in the United States, we have very limited capacity to build vaccines. They are working on it, but [faster vaccine production] is not going to happen in the next year or two. It's going to take time.
Capt. Lynn Slepski
We have been calling for the vaccine right from the beginning. We can't keep waiting for the government.
Auwalu Haruna
All indications are right now that we're going to have ample supply of vaccine this year.
Tom Skinner
To put things in perspective, you must remember that it is estimated that between one and three million kids, mainly, die of malaria every year in the endemic regions. So a vaccine that can protect with a 50 percent efficacy against the severe form of the disease has the possibility of protecting against many of these deaths.
John Cohen
If we pick the wrong pathogen to develop a vaccine and a new strain comes out, then vaccine development is futile.
Vijay Samant
We've got to get a vaccine supply that we can count on. We've got to get more and better antiviral drugs. And we've got to have every single link in our public health system as strong as it can be so we can detect this problem and do the things at the local community level that we need to do to save lives.
Dr. Julie Gerberding
Those two companies represent potential partners for our vaccine.
Philippe Archinard
We calculated that we had about 49.25 percent of what was needed. This was allocated out to nursing homes, hospitals and private facilities. We received 5,432 doses of flu vaccine to redistribute.
Glenn Martin
Malaria actually could be fixed. We don't need a miracle drug. We don't need a miracle vaccine. We have the tools now. We actually could save millions of lives.
Nick White
Families of vaccine-injured children have witnessed the emotional, physical, and financial devastation caused by the pharmaceutical industry?s reckless disregard for safety standards. Now, the misplaced priorities of Senate leadership have sacrificed public health and basic civil rights to the greed of an industry willing to overlook safety concerns for the sake of profit.
Wendy Fournier
This is a novel concept as far as a cause for obesity. If these viruses are contributing to obesity, as we get to the point of developing a vaccine, there may be a way to help combat the obesity epidemic.
Leah Whigham
This is good news for children everywhere. Development of a safe and effective rotavirus vaccine has been a worldwide priority since the virus was discovered in the 1970s.
David Matson
Chickenpox is not necessarily a benign disease or a childhood rite of passage. We don't recommend parents expose their children. The vaccine is best.
Curtis Allen
We are pretty complacent about vaccine-preventable diseases, primarily because the vaccines are so effective we rarely see the diseases. It's kind of out-of-sight, out-of-mind.
David Neumann
We have explored a number of options over the past year for the development of our vaccine business. We believe that this strategy is our best choice.
David Watumull
It seems like a large number of providers can't find vaccine.
Steve Wright
During the last three to four flu seasons, the public health department has had difficulty in obtaining the flu vaccine.
Lorenzo Carmon
We're frustrated, our customers are frustrated. (But) there's still vaccine coming. So that's the good news.
Steve Wright
You know what is going to happen. There won't be a shortage, we'll have our clinics, then we'll have a shortage. Then we'll start rationing the vaccine, and we'll end up wasting some of it at the end of the season.
Robert Friedman
We have methods in this country to control rabies as far as a human disease is concerned, and we do not need this vaccine and it does not work.
Jane Rissler
We're going to need very large volumes of flu vaccine for the pandemic. Having access to this additional capacity will be a big benefit for us.
David Stout
It took a little longer to get here, but by December, we had the usual number of doses. We hope it will be better than last year. It's going to be delayed again, and because of that, we're going to prioritize vaccine.
Susan Lett
The question becomes, which is the conservative and which is the radical decision? I think the more radical choice, frankly, is not to give the vaccine.
Paul Offit
Preparing the world for a pandemic flu outbreak is a top priority, and we're looking at various options in stockpiling drugs and vaccine. But there are a lot of issues, and it's too early to speculate about this right now.
Christina Pearson
However, these cases do serve to underscore the importance of making sure your immunizations are up to date for polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases.
Harry Hull
We expect the vaccines that are up for panel review this week to get approved. The vaccine business has the brightest future at Merck.
John Farrall
We're anticipating things going smoothly this year, but out of an abundance of caution we're making sure the vaccine goes to the higher risk people first.
Robert Marshall
The mutation that would make it spread from human to human, which is what we're worried about, is probably not enough to render the vaccine ineffective.
Rachel David
There's not much we can do to contain the flu if we don't have a vaccine.
Tara O'toole
Because the vaccine is in short supply, I recommend that people call the health units Monday to see if the supply has been replenished. We are offering it for students up to age 18 right now, but there may be additional vaccine for students aged 18 through 20.
Dr. Tina Stefanski
This is basically surplus, and the vaccine has a limited shelf-life. So instead of disposing of it, we wanted to make it available to people who may have missed earlier opportunities to get their shots.
Jeannie Keating
Only when a pandemic virus strain develops will a vaccine be created, and it will not take long - only about a month.
Mikhail Zurabov
I think the technology for making better vaccine is here.
Peter Palese
Previous shortages highlighted the need for additional influenza vaccine manufacturers for the U.S. market, ... Accelerated approval has allowed us to evaluate and approve Fluarix in record time so that we can make available additional safe and effective flu vaccines.
Lester Crawford
The important thing we've been trying to tell people is it's different from last year. There is still vaccine out there, and more is coming.
Steve Wright
It takes a fair amount of restraint using two people to hold down a 3-year-old and give 'em an injection. It's such an easier vaccine to deliver in children. The babies aren't crying. The moms leave our office happy.
Robert Belshe
This is the first human cancer vaccine study to see T-cell responses in the absence of B cells, and this paves the way to use vaccines in a number of hematological cancers that are treated by eliminating diseased B cells.
Sattva Neelapu
I think we need some new ideas to deal with a disease to which there is no effective vaccine.
Stephen O'brien
We have a very safe and effective vaccine against a very deadly biologic agent that we know to be in the hands of many of our adversaries, and could be used against our forces.
Sue Bailey
They want to know how we are ensuring the vaccine is truly the vaccine and safe. We're getting inquires from customers and the public.
Steve Wright
For our cervical cancer vaccine we pursued the objective of inducing a strong immune response and protection that lasts. We are encouraged by a sustained enhanced antibody response we saw with an HPV vaccine formulated with our novel adjuvant.
Gary Dubin
Do what they can to bolster their own immune system in case they can't find vaccine.
Brian Quinn
All this homework should be done before the vaccine is recommended for use in any population, not after.
Dr. Tom Jefferson
Currently the world capability is somewhere less than 500 million doses of vaccine with, you know, close to 6 billion people in the world. In addition, the dose that's required to induce an immune response with this particular vaccine is a significantly higher dose than the dose that you use to protect against the standard run-of-the-mill seasonal flu.
Anthony S. Fauci
Now, we have vaccine for 20 patients only.
Dr Pisit Sriprasert
We will welcome any manufacturer of the vaccine to manufacture here.
Alex Padilla
Many, particularly elderly people who are accustomed to getting flu shots from private physicians or those in nursing homes and institutional settings, are not able to get their flu shots. Health departments, which customarily plan on having clinics in mid to late October are having to postpone or cancel until such time as they get an adequate supply of vaccine.
Donna Brown
Data from routine measles vaccination for 2005 indicates that less than 25 percent of infants were vaccinated before their first birthday and that Somalia has registered very low coverage for all vaccine-preventable diseases since the collapse of the central government in 1991.
John Lebga
We will have enough vaccine in about a year for 1 billion doses.
Michael Osterholm
It's absolutely worth it. There's a lot of promise for this vaccine, not just because of our study, but also because of other studies.
Dorothy K. Hatsukami
Despite the efficacy advantage, CAIV-T will have to overcome its premium pricing and lingering safety concerns. Physicians may not be comfortable using a live vaccine in small children.
James Reddoch
We ran out of days ... the number of changes we have had to make took us away from being able to produce vaccine.
Howard Pien
We're approaching the finish line and look forward to providing vaccine for people to get vaccinated and protected for the upcoming season.
Alison Marquiss
After Nov. 10, if we have flu vaccine left, we'll administer it by appointment.
Pat Schloeder
The disease is eradicable. We have good vaccine to eradicate the disease (and) all countries are committed.
Ciro De Quadros
This year, because of all the talk about avian influenza, people seem more eager to get flu vaccine. I'm not sure if there's confusion about the two, or if they just understand the seriousness of influenza.
Mary Young
We've talked with PATH about establishing a vaccine-development center.
Peter Andrews
We believe that this means the vaccine did its job.
Amy Heimberger
If there were something that were shutting down companies, of course it is vital that our company continues to run and produce vaccine.
Alison Marquiss
It is not just a HIV vaccine - it's all vaccines - that is why there was/is a shortage of flu vaccines.
Dr. Edmund Tramont
The purpose of a consent is basically to protect the doctor or protect the company that supplied the vaccine. And so that the patient really shouldn't be able to say 'please give me this vaccine' then turn around then sue the person that gives it to them. I think that's a wise precaution for the doctor to have in place.
Mark Siegel
At the University, you're required to be vaccinated. There are about 700 people who are not, and the vaccine does not protect you against every strain.
Robin Kaler
But if we had a pandemic, the problem would be that our existing vaccines don't work against it, we would have to develop a new vaccine, and people don't have natural immunity because it hasn't be around before.
Sir Liam Donaldson
The results of this animal trial are very promising, not only because our vaccine completely protected animals that otherwise would have died, but also because we found that one form of the vaccine stimulates several lines of immunity against H5N1.
Andrea Gambotto
Be concerned about your health and immunity, if you haven't been vaccinated, you can easily go to your doctor or local health department and we have that vaccine.
Craig Beintema
There's a great deal more virus in the shingles vaccine that in the children's vaccine, and that's because children are not immune at all.
Michael Oxman
The FDA should have required far larger studies. You are combining five live viruses into one vaccine, which has never been done before.
Barbara Loe Fisher
The vaccine works by producing antibodies that specifically bind to nicotine, and thereby prevent much of the nicotine from entering the brain. This process potentially reduces the pleasurable effects from smoking and reduces the addiction to nicotine.
Dorothy K. Hatsukami
Eventually we will need to partner with a company for large-scale production of vaccine.
Dr Andrea Gambotto
The further development of this promising E. Coli vaccine is warranted and should be pursued.
A. Louis Bourgeois
Understanding how the parasites function, develop and survive will allow us to explore new vaccine and drug options. Many of today's drugs are becoming less effective due to the buildup of resistance within parasite populations. Research concerning population structure and genetic mutations will teach us about the parasites' long-term reactions to drugs.
Liwang Cui
Preventive vaccines have ended or helped control the most deadly infectious diseases known to man. Finding a vaccine to stop the spread of the HIV virus must be a global priority.
Seth Berkley
You're giving people a choice and there clearly are a group of people that find needles rather distressing and if indeed they had choice of another way to deliver a vaccine, it could indeed allow the public health system to expand its vaccine coverage.
National Institute
What often happens in a situation like this is people latch onto very concrete things, like buying vaccine. That's not readiness. That's stockpiling. We have got to have first responders who know what their role is, people who can get shots into people's arms quickly, and hospitals who can handle patients.
Georges Benjamin
There are still pockets of areas that are still having problems getting vaccine. The (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) promises it's on the way, so by the end of this month and December people should still be able to get their shots.
Brian Quinn
Vaccine production in this country is not tied to public health priorities.
Dr. William Schaffner
Most people are looking at the vote, not at what the FDA said. Six of the 10 panelists said the safety data is not sufficient, but with more data, they think the vaccine will pass. The FDA wants to see this pass.
Sharon Seiler
There is a huge question mark. If there is, if people had a tiny bit of immunity, the vaccine would boost it.
Dr Jim Robertson
Avian influenza vaccine will be a big source for the disease to spread in India. When the best possible solution is culling in the affected area.
Anuradha Desai
We must make sure our preparedness plans are well organized and ready and we must also get a vaccine ready and make sure it can be mass produced in numbers that are required.
Malik Peiris
We?re just at the beginning of flu season. We expect cases to increase in the coming weeks. There is still vaccine in Connecticut -- several thousand doses.
Dr. Matthew Cartter
We're trying to do something that has not been accomplished for any vaccine yet.
Barton Haynes
The newly developed vaccine, against newcastle disease and AI, can be easily deployed through sprinkling, drinking, eye-dropping and various other means.
Jia Youling
If found safe, this vaccine will be used for vaccination.
Anbumani Ramadoss
Globally it's unbalanced. There would be more bang for the buck if more were invested globally in pandemic vaccine development.
Klaus Stohr
We generated the portion that we think was important for immunity. We never manipulated the actual H5N1 virus ourselves, so it is safe to generate this kind of vaccine.
Dr Andrea Gambotto
We made assumptions about what these doses will be, knowing there is a relationship between the dose's active ingredient in the vaccine and how quickly you can produce it for a large number of people.
Rachel David
The vaccine is only about 95 percent effective. Five percent of the population is not going to be effected by it.
Melaney Arnold
Would it be the best thing that we spend money to have a vaccine for pandemic flu that never happened? ... That would be a great outcome as far as I'm concerned.
Anthony S. Fauci
Seventy (million), 75 million doses typically have been enough vaccine in years past.
Lola Russell
We don't expect a shortage. We have everyone producing their vaccine. We don't expect it, but we're monitoring it very closely. The overall picture looks very promising.
Lola Russell
By the beginning of December, flu vaccine will be available, though we may still experience mild shortages in scattered areas around the country.
Gregory Poland
The vaccine will not create any side affects.
Siti Fadilah Supari
Way back in 1972, I read that they were using living cells from aborted babies to make the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. That violated my conscious. I guess I am a little bit angry about it, about the Iowa law (that makes people get vaccines).
Donna Holman
We definitely think, in children in particular, that this vaccine is as good or better than the standard flu shot, ... The children who received the vaccine, who were all preschool children, had a dramatic decrease in natural flu.
James King
In normal flu years, most of us have immunity, either from the vaccine or from having the flu in previous years, ... But in pandemics, we have no prior immunity, and it's just like being hit with a completely new disease that we've never built up any ability to fight. That's why the mortality tends to be high even in the age groups that don't usually get very sick from flu.
Marc Lipsitch
I think with these projections the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] will be in a good position to reach the people most in need of the vaccine and additional targets as well.
Alison Marquiss
Countries . . . are concerned about the egg issue and are trying to ensure a robust and reliable supply and take a percentage of their stockpile vaccine from a cell-culture system. There is concern.
Noel Barrett
We have no real capacity to make [a pandemic] vaccine right now.
Ira Longini
Chiron has recently made tremendous strides, including returning to the U.S. influenza vaccine market, building a compelling oncology pipeline and extending our growth in the blood-testing business.
Howard Pien
There's a perceived halo effect, which is negative, that we don't agree with. Each of the cancer vaccine companies should be viewed as different companies.
Mark Monane
I am not allowed to tell people they should not get this vaccine. But we have been telling them about this concern.
Dr. Michelle Mcdonald
Essentially we have been going house to house talking with them about the risk, offering the vaccine and attempting to collect specimens to see if the virus has been spreading. Some families have said, 'No, thank you, we do not want to interact with you at all.' Other families have said, 'Sure, we'll get vaccinated. We'll provide specimens.
Harry Hull
Government planning is random, and it is using the wrong vaccine to combat the virus.
Talaat Khatib
Previous shortages highlighted the need for additional influenza vaccine manufacturers for the U.S. market.
Lester Crawford
A human vaccine is in the works.
Len Conrad
And if avian flu develops into a pandemic human strain - as many experts fear it may - the vaccine might complement traditional vaccines and be used to protect people.
Andrea Gambotto
There is some sense that the U.S. government wants to spread the vaccine business for pandemic flu equally in order to diversify its risk.
David Webster
We have really heavily invested our staff in delivering Flumist in the school system and we were going to be stretched kind of thin to be delivering inactivated vaccine at exactly the same time.
Stephanie Hall
If it's universally recommended then obviously people are going to be getting the vaccine much more broadly.
Barbara Ryan
If necessary, even before a pandemic, we'll start making fresh vaccine strains. We will be following it along, and hopefully be keeping up with it. If, when a pandemic strikes and it is H5, we'll pounce on that virus immediately.
Dr Jim Robertson
If you want to learn how to take these viruses apart and put them back together ... and develop a vaccine against them, it really requires this kind of spacesuit laboratory.
Tom Curtis
But again, the message is: if you're symptomatic, seek health care. If you're symptomatic, isolate yourself from school and work. And if you aren't vaccinated, get a vaccine.
Paul Biedrzycki
A lot of cases that people think are from flu aren't really the flu at all, but other respiratory viruses like RSV. At least with the flu, we have something to control it — a vaccine.
Ann Falsey
There is no evidence that there will be a shortage of flu vaccines this year. We do not expect to ration the vaccine or limit it to those at high risk of complications from flu because there should be enough for everyone.
Amy Johnson
If a vaccine were to be developed, one would want to ensure that all the serotypes of human adenoviruses responsible for human obesity were covered in the vaccine.
Frank Greenway
Even though there is tremendous controversy swirling about vaccine efficacy, there is no reason to not get vaccinated. Right now, there is no evidence that the vaccine is ineffective.
Paul Biedrzycki
The world is inching towards a vaccine.
Seth Berkley
We are encouraging people to get their vaccine. It takes about two weeks for the vaccine to kick in, but it will definitely help protect them from catching influenza.
Tacey Derenzy
Right now, there's no way of knowing which way of weakening the virus will make the best vaccine.
John Connor
The president has made it clear that he was obtaining the smallpox vaccine in his position as commander-in-chief.
Jeanie Mamo
The good news is we can make a vaccine. The bad news, it's not going to prevent a pandemic in the next 12 to 18 months.
Michael Osterholm
Our safety experience with smallpox vaccinations to date is consistent with what we expected overall. We have seen a small number of adverse reactions to the vaccine, mostly minor.
William Winkenwerder
They will have sophisticated detection devices -- for example, for biological weapons that can take samples and analyze them rapidly to determine their identity, whether Iraq, for example is producing anthrax at a vaccine plant.
Jonathan Tucker
Bird flu may likely become the next pandemic, and this vaccine is worth investigating further.
Dr Andrea Gambotto
Developing an Aids vaccine for the regions of the world in greatest need will take many more innovative partnerships like this one given the difficult scientific challenges we face.
Seth Berkley
We're still looking at some (donation) options. The vaccine is still in storage in the United Kingdom.
Abby Ottenhoff
This is a very potent vaccine. It took roughly about 30 days to make the vaccine from when we received the sequence information from CDC in Atlanta.
Dr Andrea Gambotto
The reality is that they have under-provided for flu vaccine. They need to take responsibility instead of casting around for someone to blame.
Steve Webb
Education is the vaccine for violence.
Edward James Olmos
If the orally administered vaccine is used, thousands of birds could be vaccinated simultaneously.
