Experts now recommend that pre-teen boys get vaccinated against HPV, that 16-year-olds receive a meningitis booster shot, and that almost all children receive a flu shot annually.

The vaccines of the future against infections, influenza and cancer can be administered using an electrical pulse and a specially-produced DNA code, new research suggests. The DNA code programs the body’s own cells to produce a super-fast missile defense against the disease, researchers say.

Scientists have developed a new vaccine to treat cancer at the pre-clinical level. They developed a new approach for treating the disease based on manipulating the immune response to malignant tumors.

Post-infection vaccines are already in clinical trials.

Two years after the earthquake, debate over the use of a cholera vaccine in Haiti rages.

An experimental vaccine staved off infections in monkeys, and provides clues as to what will be needed to make an HIV vaccine for people.

A national U.S. clinical trial testing the efficacy of a novel brain tumor vaccine has begun. The vaccine will be tested in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive and highest grade malignant glioma.

New research points investigators toward finding a genital herpes vaccine that works on both viruses that cause disease.

The rotavirus vaccine was pulled from the marketplace in 1999 after being associated with painful gastrointestinal complications, however, the updated rotavirus vaccines do not appear to increase the occurrence of these potentially fatal side effects, according to a new study by child health experts.

New vaccine research in monkeys suggests that scientists are homing in on the critical ingredients of a protective HIV vaccine and identifies new HIV vaccine candidates to test in human clinical trials.

A new candidate malaria vaccine has the potential to neutralize all strains of the most deadly species of malaria parasite.

Immunity to a virus they've never heard of doesn't send teens into the sack.
