KPBS : reported that More Immunizations — And Maybe More Online Schooling — Under New Vaccine Rule

Independent study includes online public charter schools. San Diego County charter schools with online components, including Julian Charter School and the Learning Choice Academy, had vaccination rates of less than 80 percent. KPCC reports vaccination rates are significantly lower in charter schools than in traditional public schools. The final vaccination rates are in for California's first school year under a law banning personal belief exemptions for immunizations. Less than 74 percent of charter schools reporting their rates met the state target of having 95 percent of students vaccinated.

The same goes for sheep along with wild animals that are at risk, like antelope and camels. If the campaign works, that's good news not only for the many livestock farmers but for wild animals as well.

"It can last many months at 37 degrees centigrade," says Jeffrey Mariner, professor at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. The heat tolerance [of the vaccine] is critical," he adds, in the success of a mass vaccination campaign.

UCSD Medical Discovery Could Lead to New Vaccine for Strep Throat

According to Nizet, strep throat bacteria can lead to flesh-eating diseases in those with weak immune systems. "What we are discovering has gone unnoticed for nearly a century by researchers," said Victor Nizet, MD, a professor at UCSD. NBC 7's Danielle Radin shows a new medical discovery at the University of California, San Diego, that scientists say has gone unnoticed for nearly a century, but could help to design a new vaccine for strep throat and flesh-eating bacteria. (Published Monday, Aug. 7, 2017)Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) may have discovered a path to a vaccine for two types of currently incurable step throat, thanks to a recent medical discovery. This is why your throat often swells up when strep is present: because the body is fighting off the infection, Nizet explained.
