Is a TB vaccine more effective than intravenous infusions?


New York, June 27, 2020, Saturday

TB is still a deadly disease if left untreated. Although TB ​​can be cured with more treatments and doses of drugs than ever before, 1.2 million people worldwide die of TB every year. According to a source, BCG vaccine is currently in vogue to prevent TB but it reduces the immunity in a few years. Most TB vaccines are given intramuscularly or intramuscularly. So a few years ago, a scientist named Sander came up with the idea of ​​giving a TB vaccine directly into a vein. For this, he first gave the malaria vaccine directly into a vein which was effective.


For this, an experiment was performed on some monkeys by the National Institutes of Health and the University of Pittsburgh. Two months after the monkeys were vaccinated, TB bacteria were injected into the lungs and tested to show that 3 out of 10 monkeys were more resistant to TB. From this, the researchers came to the conclusion that if the method of vaccinating against TB is changed, a more positive result can be obtained. However, researchers also believe that the experiment of injecting TB vaccine into monkeys still requires research. Experiments to be applied in humans will last for 15 to 20 months. Research on this has been published in the well-known journal Nature.
