BIOBASICS is glad to offer an all-new and thrilling column called SCIENCE NEWS. This column will feature recent, interesting facts and studies about science in general and Biology in particular. 'HAPPY READING'!!A new vaccine might achieve protection against the virus with fewer injections:
One or two injections of a live-but-disabled rabies vaccine might be enough to stave off the virus, a study in monkeys finds. The vaccine will require further testing, but the early results demonstrate a potent immune response that shot-for-shot far exceeds the one generated by the most commonly used commercial vaccine. The current regimen uses killed rabies virus to engender immunity with five vaccine shots and one shot of antibodies.
