New PhRMA Report: Nearly 300 Vaccines Currently in Development

Today, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America released a report, Medicines in Development: Vaccines – A Report on the Prevention and Treatment of Disease Through Vaccines. The report shows that U.S. biopharma companies are currently developing 271 vaccines to prevent and treat numerous conditions, including infectious diseases and various forms of cancer and neurological disorders.

Vaccines have successfully prevented devastating infectious diseases such as smallpox, measles and polio. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 10 infectious diseases have been at least 90 percent eradicated in the U.S. as a result of vaccines. These innovations and subsequent immunization efforts have protected millions of children and families.

“Biopharmaceutical research companies are working with partners across the ecosystem to apply new scientific approaches to the development of both preventative and therapeutic vaccines,” said PhRMA President and CEO John J. Castellani. “The nearly 300 vaccines in the pipeline provide great hope for protecting and improving public health in the United States and across the globe.”

Ethyl vs methyl is a huge difference. Ask your PhD chemist husband. uppityperson Dec 2014 #82

Yes, of course they're different. But Thimerosal has been linked to inflammation pnwmom Dec 2014 #103

LOTS of things cause inflammation. Poorly fitting shoes, for instance. uppityperson Dec 2014 #104

Scientists are taking the inflammation theory seriously, and so is the NIH. pnwmom Dec 2014 #105

Preservation is necessary Major Nikon Dec 2014 #108

Thimerosal is NOT necessary in single-use vials of childhood vaccines pnwmom Dec 2014 #109

Which has zero to do with the thimersol risk myth you are trying to perpetuate Major Nikon Dec 2014 #112

It is a fact, not a myth, that before Thimerosal was removed pnwmom Dec 2014 #115

Prove what? That the FDA recommended that Thimerosal be removed pnwmom Dec 2014 #117

I've already seen this and it doesn't support your assertion Major Nikon Dec 2014 #118

Don't you think the FDA and the CDC know the difference? pnwmom Dec 2014 #139

Not in the US. jeff47 Dec 2014 #71

But other environmental factors have been greatly increasing during the same time period pnwmom Dec 2014 #87

Roundup is increasing, while thimerosal is decreasing, so autism is caused by uppityperson Dec 2014 #92

No, but a number of different triggers, alone or in combination, pnwmom Dec 2014 #94

How can you blame anti-vaxxers when the pregnant mom had never heard of the vaccine? pnwmom Dec 2014 #35

Herd immunity jeff47 Dec 2014 #40

A pregnant woman will know if she's been vaccinated or not. pnwmom Dec 2014 #42

A pregnant woman will be getting lots of shots jeff47 Dec 2014 #43

Pregnant women only get TWO shots in an uncomplicated pregnancy. pnwmom Dec 2014 #45

From the lots of shots my wife received. jeff47 Dec 2014 #48

I linked to the CDC recommendation for only two routine shots in pregnancies. pnwmom Dec 2014 #51

The larger reason is that the shots today are only effective for about 5 years, pnwmom Dec 2014 #69
