Drinkable vaccines for babies coming to Ontario

Drinkable vaccine for babies among changes saving families up to $350 - Parentcentral.ca

Ontario newborns will soon be able to receive a new, drinkable vaccine to protect them from diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration.


Nearly 140,000 infants will benefit from the oral rotavirus
vaccine, the Liberal government says. They are set to announce a number
of changes to its publicly funded immunization program this morning.


Ontario is the first jurisdiction in Canada to cover the oral rotavirus vaccine, according to Health Minister Deb Matthews.


Beginning this August, the government will offer two new vaccines —
one for rotavirus and the other a combined chicken pox and
measles-mumps-rubella vaccine known as MMRV.


The government says the vaccine change will save families up to $350 per person.


Also this August, Ontario will cover a second childhood dose of the
varicella (chicken pox) vaccine to enhance protection and they’ll pay
for a lifetime dose of the pertussis, or whooping cough vaccine.


“Immunization is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself
and your family,” said Dr. Arlene King, Ontario’s chief medical officer
of health in a release.

Universal vaccination patch

Dissolving "microneedle" patch could lead to universal vaccinations

Dissolving "microneedle" patch could lead to universal vaccinations
The patches contain hundreds of microscopic needles, each barely any
bigger than a 10,000th of an inch. (You can see an array of 36 such
needles up top.) The needles are each tipped with vaccines, and when the
patch is applied to the skin they dissolve painlessly to provide
long-lasting protection. That's a big improvement on hypodermic needles,
the current mode of vaccine delivery, because those needles are nothing
but trouble once they've been used. Disposing of hypodermics so that
they don't accidentally hurt someone or end up getting reused is a
public health nightmare, and the patch eliminates those concerns
completely.
