Malaria vaccine that could save lives a step closer thanks to Gold Coast researchersPostedAustralian researchers say they are closer to creating a vaccine to prevent malaria, which could potentially save hundreds of thousands of lives each year. Now, a world-first whole blood-stage malaria parasite vaccine trial in Queensland has proven safe and induces an immune response in humans. The vaccine was tested on a 11 humans in collaboration with the Gold Coast University Hospital and Griffith University. "It involves the entire malaria parasite, which we effectively put to sleep with a drug which binds to its DNA," he said. "If the approach works here on the Gold Coast … our next step would be to go to a malaria-endemic country," Professor Good said.




The legislation established a special court within the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, called the Office of Special Masters of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, which is dedicated to hearing vaccine injury claims. EfficiencyThough the vaccine court is technically a court, the rules are slightly different than for a typical trial. However, after the vaccine court began operating in 1988, vaccine production increased, and new immunizations for hepatitis A, chickenpox and rotavirus were licensed. Isaiah Kalinowskian attorney who handles vaccine injury cases "The vaccine program does not really concern itself with the question 'Did somebody do something wrong?'" With the development of the vaccine court, pharmaceutical companies no longer were liable for the vaccines they produced.
