Kaiser Permanente begins vaccine study.(Brief Article)
2002 AUG 21 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- At the Oakland Medical Center, volunteers in a new study are getting vaccinated against smallpox for the first time.
Kaiser Permanente's Vaccine Study Center is one of four sites in the U.S. participating in a study that will test the effectiveness of two versions of vaccine; one a diluted version of the current smallpox vaccine, the other derived from an almost 50-year-old store of vaccine recently discovered in a freezer owned by vaccine manufacturer Aventis Pasteur.
Study center codirector Steve Black leads the research at the Oakland site. "In the past year, I think we've all become more aware of the possibility of a bioterrorist attack in the United States," said Black. "I hope we never need to use this vaccine again, but it's important to make certain that if we do it will be available and it will work. If we can show that this vaccine stock is still effective, it will go a long way toward making a dose of smallpox vaccine available for everyone in the U.S."
