Yes, the great majority of pets respond well to vaccines, but as
with human vaccines, there are some risks.
Most human vaccines in use today aren't «leaky»; they are very good at stopping disease transmission.
But you can gain confidence in your decisions by examining what

Until now, biologists had long assumed that using plants to
grow human vaccines was impossible.
By the
time human vaccines are ready, many of the vulnerable population will have already been naturally infected.
Thus, this study has implications for analysis
of human vaccine studies, as in addition to searching for defined lineages it is worthwhile to perform functional analysis of monoclonal antibodies that may have found new structural solutions to high affinity binding which can not be discerned from DNA sequence alone.
Explaining the importance of this new findings, Dr Barton Haynes of
Duke Human Vaccine Institute, USA, who was part of the leading team, said that biomarkers or correlates have given them directions, signals on the hypothesis.

human vaccine for cutaneous leishmaniasis, a tropical disease found in Texas and Oklahoma, and affecting some U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Forget carpet bombing with insecticides or spending millions to devise
effective human vaccines: Australian scientists have concocted a novel way to combat dengue fever, a deadly insectborne infection that sickens up to 100 million people every year.
She then held a range of short - term positions at institutions like Epicentre, the Organization of American States,
human vaccine company Sanofi Pasteur, and WHO.
For example, in a session on
human vaccine trials, Glenda Gray from the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa reported the somewhat surprising observation that T - cell responses to vaccines can differ depending on gender and body mass index.
The multi-author study, by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control's Partners for Rabies Prevention Group, also shows that annual economic losses because of the disease are around 8.6 billion US dollars, mostly due to premature deaths, but also because of spending
on human vaccines, lost income for victims of animal bites and other costs.
A recent study in the
journal Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, showed that two doses of the HPV - 16 / 18 AS04 - adjuvanted vaccine Cervarix (GlaxoSmithKline) are non-inferior to three - doses in the current schedule.
Indeed, weakening influenza strains by passaging them in animals is an old technique for
making human vaccines, including those for polio and yellow fever, according to virologist Vincent Racaniello of Columbia University.
Some experts worry, however, that the availability of
more human vaccine could actually lower the pressure to eliminate rabies in dogs and thus perpetuate the problem.
The imperfect - vaccine hypothesis attracted controversy [11 — 14], not least
because human vaccines have apparently not caused an increase in the virulence of their target pathogens.
Schultz is quick to say he's disturbed that zealots are pushing away from any vaccinations whatsoever, their sentiments perhaps related to the controversy
over human vaccines potentially causing or contributing to autism.
It's been shown that the «modified» viruses in
human vaccines embed themselves in the genes of the host and can shuffle around and reactivate thirty or more years after vaccination.
Scientific studies
into human vaccines have shown that just as many vaccinated people, and sometimes more vaccinated people, contract diseases as do unvaccinated people.
Now a research team, led by investigators at the
Duke Human Vaccine Institute and the Vaccine Research Center of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), has tracked rare potent antibodies in an HIV - infected individual and determined sequential structures that point to how they developed.
«We have followed a less potent neutralizing lineage in this particular individual before, but now we have found a far more potent antibody and have been able to study its development over six years,» said first author Mattia Bonsignori, M.D., of the Duke
Human Vaccine Institute.
Although Thimerosal has been phased out of
most human vaccines, it is still used in some canine vaccines.
Health and veterinary workers used text message questionnaires to report dog bites and use
of human vaccine, which led to better, faster, and cheaper surveillance, researchers reported in PLOS Medicine last April.
Documented AE from the adjuvants used
in human vaccines, especially those containing aluminum and thimerosal (mercury salt), continue to appear in the literature [11 - 16].
And again like
with human vaccines, the more dogs that get vaccinated, the more effective herd immunity becomes and the harder it will be for the virus to spread.
The Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) and collaborators at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School have completed a promising preclinical study of two Zika vaccine candidates that suggests that an
effective human vaccine will be achievable.
According to a recent study in the
journal Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics (HV&I), only 60 % of young US women who received the first dose of the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine went on to complete the three - dose vaccine series.
July 2016: Two
human vaccine trials begin, one led by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and a second by U.S. company Inovio Pharmaceuticals and South Korean firm GeneOne.
According to a study in
Human Vaccines and Immunotherapeudics, the parents of unvaccinated infants tend to be white, married, over 30, college - educated, and living in a household with an income of more than $ 75,000 a year.
«Now we've been able to go back and see what happened,» said senior author Barton F. Haynes, director of the Duke
Human Vaccine Institute.
«The finding that the maturation of a bnAb lineage could be boosted by a helper lineage has significant implications for the development of AIDS vaccines,» said one of the first authors, Feng Gao, M.D., of the Duke
Human Vaccine Institute.
According to a study published in
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, the Tdap vaccine is safe for both mothers and infants.
The team was led by Barton Haynes, M.D., director of the Duke Center for HIV / AIDS Vaccine Immunology - Immunogen Discovery (CHAVI - ID) and the Duke
Human Vaccine Institute, and John Mascola, M.D., director of the Vaccine Research Center of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health.
The nationally representative survey of U.S. adults was published in January in
Human Vaccines and Immunotherapeutics.
This needs to be supplemented by improving access to
human vaccines.
These data reinforce the value of the two - dose schedule and should lead to increased utilization of this vaccine, with consequent decreases in morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer,» said Dr. Ronald Ellis, Editor - in - Chief of
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics.
The study, published Aug. 13, 2014, in the journal Cell Host & Microbe, builds on previous work from researchers at the Duke
Human Vaccine Institute that outlined a perplexing quality about HIV: The antibodies that originally arise to fight the virus are ineffective.
«Gut flora keeps us all healthy by helping the immune system develop, and by stimulating a group of immune cells that keep bacteria in check,» said senior author Barton F. Haynes, M.D., director of the Duke
Human Vaccine Institute.
A possible problem facing
a human vaccine is that some people already have an immune response to some strains of adenoviruses, which would reduce the body's response to the vaccine strain.
