King's College London: Injection-free vaccination technique
Scientists at King's have demonstrated the ability to deliver a dried live vaccine to the skin without a traditional needle, and shown for the first time that this technique is powerful enough to enable specialised immune cells in the skin to kick-start the immunising properties of the vaccine.
Dr Linda Klavinskis from the Peter Gorer Department of Immunobiology at King's explains the research behind the new technique and its wider potential.
Read more about this technique on the King's College London website: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/newsevents/news/newsrecords/2013/02-Feb/Injection-free-vaccination-technique.aspx.

Kanner’s infantile autism and Asperger’s syndrome -- Pearce 76 (2): 205 -- Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry
Recent much publicised attention to autism and its putative relation to the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination
reminds us that autism affects approximately 4 in 10 000 of the population. It is characterised by impairments in reciprocal
social interaction and communication, restricted and stereotyped patterns of interests and activities, and the presence of
developmental abnormalities by 3 years of age. Much of the psychiatric literature appears to overlook the organic basis,1 with subtle neurological signs evident in many examples: learning difficulties, a high incidence of epilepsy, viral infections,
tuberous sclerosis, and fragile X syndrome are known associations.

Delayed publication of vaccine trials
Among medical interventions to improve human health, vaccination has been and remains one of the most important.1 Given the huge number of deaths from influenza pandemics in recent history, the ability to rapidly develop effective vaccines for new strains of influenza is particularly critical. Making and testing a new influenza vaccine that can be administered to the public takes six months or less.2 For example, the pandemic A/H1N1 2009 influenza strain was first identified in April of 2009; four vaccines were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in September. After the approval of a vaccine, however, important questions remain regarding dosage, effectiveness, and safety. These questions are best answered by randomized clinical trials, and getting complete results from these trials to policy makers, clinicians, and the general public in a timely manner is essential.
