Hepatitis E Vaccine Appears Safe, Effective
A new vaccine designed to protect individuals from becoming infected with the hepatitis E virus appears to be virtually foolproof, ongoing Chinese research indicates.
After analyzing results from the third phase of their study, a team of scientists led by Dr Ning-Shao Xia, from the Institute of Diagnostics and Vaccine Development in Infectious Diseases at Xiamen University in Xiamen, found that three standard doses of the so-called "HEV239" vaccine, given over a six-month period, afforded patients full immunity from the disease up to a year after the final innoculation, without prompting any serious side effects.
