The indirect — and sometimes surprising — benefits of vaccines Many vaccines confer surprising knock-on, or indirect, health benefits when they have been put into widespread use.

Many vaccines confer indirect, health benefits when they have been put into use both for the people who are vaccinated and for society at large. Take the HPV vaccine which has driven down rates of cancers not only in women but also in unvaccinated men.

The quest to hatch a bird-flu vaccine Although development of a jab for the H5N1 strain of avian flu is well under way, other strains are receiving less attention — and political obstacles to research could hamper progress.

🦠 H5N1: a warning worth taking seriously
Finland became the first country to vaccinate high-risk groups against #H5N1 after a major outbreak in fur farms. Human cases are still rare, but the virus is spreading widely in animals and could mutate
