The vaccine against measles developed by John F. Enders, Nobel Prize winning professor of Bacteriology and Immunology, has been proved effective for 96 per cent of the children inoculated, according to a report made last week by the United States Public Health Service.
Preparation are now being made for the manufacture of the vaccine for general use.
Yellow Fever. Vaccine is already near-perfect.
Dengue ("breakbone fever"). Vaccine was made at World War II's end against the only virus then recognized; now it is known that at least four types are involved, with geographic overlaps. Work in progress on an all-type vaccine.
Rabies. Improved vaccine, including some from virus grown in incubating duck eggs, has eliminated much of the pain and danger of old-fashioned "Pasteur treatment."
