We're scaring people away needlessly from very safe vaccines.
Diane Peterson
The health budget is 1.06 billion rupees (23 million dollars) while vaccines would have cost the state over three billion rupees.
O. P. Singh
Vaccines and drugs are important, but that's your back-up if all else fails. If we can eliminate the disease in poultry and get it under control we're halfway to being a lot safer.
William Karesh
We're concerned and alarmed by the lack of innovation in this area. There are very few manufacturers of vaccines today, and the plants are not distributed widely.
Brook Byers
Many vaccines in use today resulted from both government-sponsored and private research.
Anthony S. Fauci
But if (nursing homes) don't have vaccines by the end of the month, they will probably start making more fervent pleas.
John Ricci
The vaccines business is a key growth driver.
Martin Hall
We'd provide the needles and vaccines for immunization, but some districts wouldn't have enough money for operations. They reached nearby areas but left out remote areas. So you'd find mothers who don't even know about immunization.
Jane Soepardi
Some 300,000 vaccines arrived today but it is of no use as we cannot administer them to those already infected.
Kp Kushwaha
Most of what I hear is that they're just busy. It's not in the front of their minds, and they just forget about it. Some people are concerned about finances. But if people don't have health insurance, they can come to the health department and get reduced-cost vaccines.
Kelly Martin
Do we buy vaccines or books?
Maximino Medina Jr
We think this will provide more rapid development and approval of vaccines.
Dr. Janet Woodcock
It is almost never possible to do pre-licensing studies that are large enough to find very rare events with great certainty, ... We have to find the correct balance between safety and making new preventive tools -- such as vaccines -- at a cost our society can afford.
Robert Lowell
It's keeping your children healthy. We don't see many of these diseases anymore because vaccines have eradicated them from our lifestyle.
Kelly Martin
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
The irony is that this industry took a hit at a time when nearly 300 biotech drugs and vaccines are in human clinical trials, ... The pipelines have never been fuller. I think it'll take investors a little more time to recognize that before small-cap stocks will come back.
Carl Feldbaum
Humans don't have resistance to H5N1, and currently vaccines to H5N1 are still being developed. And, the available evidence shows that the most recent strains isolated from humans in Asia are no longer sensitive to inhibition by the amantadine family of drugs.
Robert Webster
We know much more today than we did in 1997 when the first case appeared. That there are candidate vaccines in development, some are in clinical trial already, so I think it's important not to panic.
Dr. Kanta Subbarao
Obviously this is not the final product, but this needs to be pursued. We hope to ... further rekindle and re-energize people to develop vaccines against ETEC.
A. Louis Bourgeois
There are a number of studies published that report on varying degrees of effectiveness. But there are also a lot of studies that point to the fact that the vaccines are effective in preventing the serious complications that lead to hospitalizations and death, and that's an important note that we should never lose sight of.
Tom Skinner
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
The vaccines have undergone pre-clinical tests ... and I hope they will be completed in three to four months.
Mikhail Zurabov
One can narrow potential culprits and be prepared with vaccines.
Malik Peiris
Our plan is to turn around the Chiron vaccines business, which will require investments in R&D and manufacturing to increase quality and capacity.
Daniel Vasella
Traditional vaccines base their protection on the antibodies they produce against the virus, but the antibodies only protect against very, very similar strains. They don't have the capacity of covering strains if they mutate.
Dr. Suresh Mittal
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
Vaccines and drugs are important, but that's your back-up if all else fails.
William Karesh
Science is publishing this study because it provides information necessary for developing drugs and vaccines that could help prevent another global flu pandemic. We carefully considered the implications of publishing this research and concluded that the knowledge we're gaining to potentially protect public health far outweighs the risk of working with this virus.
Donald Kennedy
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
The problem about vaccines in the United States is the system for production and distribution is broken.
John Cohen
We made the diagnosis and the farmer went home with vaccines for his flock. So I like to think we did a very important thing.
Corrie Brown
Our program here is to develop a range of candidate vaccines for use in humans against the entire set of avian influenza subtypes.
Dr. Kanta Subbarao
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
We are potentially using too many vaccines.
Barbara Loe Fisher
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
By protecting personal and public health, they are vaccines at their best.
Dr. William Schaffner
There isn't a clear policy in place that would tell us how to allocate them, and we must assume most vaccines and medicines will be in short supply.
Arthur Caplan
[Merck] has a lot of nice vaccines in the works, but none of them are blockbusters, ... [Merck] has to come down from the mountain and realize it can't do everything by itself. It needs joint ventures.
Fran Hawthorne
It's one of the dilemmas in cancer vaccines. As these are shown to be safe, trials are being done in less difficult situations.
Jeffrey Schlom
Clearly, both are needed. But if we're not getting the basic vaccines we already have today out to these kids who need them, how well are we going to do with expanding access to new vaccines?
Dr. Mark Kane
Unfortunately today, the total world's capacity of vaccines does not compare with India's requirements.
Anbumani Ramadoss
Health-care workers need to be assured that their families will be taken care of in these situations, and that can mean everything from making sure they get drugs or vaccines, or food and a safe place to stay or even child care during an emergency. Hospitals need to be sure they can man the fort in the midst of a crisis.
Shelley Hearne
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
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, ... I commend our Center for Biologics for taking extraordinary steps to help us be better prepared for both the upcoming and future flu seasons.
Lester Crawford
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
We have eradicated previous outbreaks of high pathogenic avian influenza successfully in domestic birds using this method. Vaccination offers potential benefits but currently available vaccines are too limited to provide a general solution.
Fred Landeg
Far more people quit in the highest dose. It looks like vaccines do have promise in terms of helping people quit smoking.
Dorothy K. Hatsukami
We gave about 24,000 vaccines last year. It was less than we usually give.
Barbara Schneeman
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
The harm (of fake vaccines) is incalculable.
Jia Youling
Evidence of Harm, Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy.
David Kirby
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 needed capacity. ID Biomedical is a top-rate outfit, they have state-of-the-art facilities and we're very excited about the chance to invest and expand capacity and to further advance our flu-pandemic and our improved flu vaccines.
David Stout
These are high-risk, high-reward [vaccines]. The chances of their success are remote, but if they do work, we would expect them to be blockbusters if they produced enough to supply developed nations and undeveloped nations.
Gbola Amusa
Recently, some strains of bird flu viruses have infected people in Asia. There is concern these new strains could cause a pandemic, but they are not infecting people in the United States at this time. Rather than wait for that possibility to occur, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is testing avian influenza vaccines.
Robert Belshe
We still use 1940s technology to develop influenza vaccines.
Greg Poland
We are engaged in an ongoing effort to enhance efficiencies throughout the company and improve the way we discover, develop, manufacture and market our medicines and vaccines.
Richard Clark
Massive numbers of vaccines would be needed and companies are concerned, 'who's going to pay for that,'.
Seth Berkley
The findings may point the way to new medical interventions, such as drugs or vaccines, for infections caused by enveloped RNA viruses.
Anthony S. Fauci
These vaccines hold promise. But before we go ahead with a recommendation for global vaccination, we will first need to know how well these vaccines work in developing parts of the world.
Dr. Roger Glass
Our findings show that, according to reliable evidence, the effectiveness of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccines in elderly individuals is modest, irrespective of setting, outcome, population, and study design.
Dr. Tom Jefferson
People should ask whether it's worth investing these trillions of dollars and euros in these vaccines.
Dr. Tom Jefferson
The punch line here is that we've probably been delivering vaccines to the wrong place -- the muscle -- for a long time.
Stephen Johnston
The panic has been so great that the number of requests for vaccines to be sent to regions has begun to grow in geometric progression.
Sergei Dankvert
The concern about vaccines is not really with infectious diseases. Our concern is with regression after vaccination and the huge increases in chronic immune and brain dysfunction in children.
Barbara Loe Fisher
This paves the way to use vaccines in a number of hematological cancers that are treated by eliminating diseased B cells.
Sattva Neelapu
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
It was a classic grand mal seizure. We're all guinea pigs of vaccines.
Hannah Turner
You can't trial vaccines without a very quick way of getting back to the people [who] are working on the drugs, ... If you have Internet connectivity, you can send images, slides and descriptions of results immediately, and that can only really be done over the Internet.
Mark Bennett
Any issue in timing will be secondary to exactly what differences these vaccines have.
Andrew Witty
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
What you see is that marketing rules the response to influenza, and scientific evidence comes fourth or fifth. Vaccines may have a role, but they appear to have a modest effect. The best strategy to prevent the illness is to wash your hands.
Dr. Tom Jefferson
Vaccines aren't wonderfully stable. You'll get 12 months out of it in the correct conditions, maybe 18 months, but it doesn't go on forever. So again, it's a bit of a gamble to stockpile a few million doses. If it's not used, it's just going to go off.
Dr Jim Robertson
Without this balance, a body's immune system will not have the desired response when faced with infection. These findings could aid the development and production of vaccines and lead to further research on how the body fights specific infections, such as HIV.
Marc Jenkins
Does mercury in vaccines cause autism in children? A definitive answer has proven elusive, and it remains so to this day. No one can say with certainty that thimerosal ... helped fuel an explosion in reported cases of autism, ADD, speech delay and other disorders over the past decade. But no one can say for certain that it did not.
David Kirby
It gives us some reassurance that by continuing to monitor the current virus in birds, we can get a sense as to when it'll be an efficient virus. We may have some time to develop new vaccines and better therapies.
Robert Belshe
The jewels are the vaccines business and blood testing. There's nothing about Chiron that makes you say 'wow, we need to buy this for the pipeline.' The portfolio is rather lackluster compared to other biotechnology companies.
Eric Bernhardt
Because of experiences in the past we really don't make firm plans until we have adequate supply. Every single year there is this waiting to actually have the vaccines in hand.
