Keeping Vaccinations On Track
Engineers used mathematical
modeling as the basis of a
computer program designed to
track and schedule
immunizations for infants.
The web-based program asks
for a childýs

Cleaning Infected Blood
Infectious disease experts
designed a machine called
the hemopurifier. It works
much like a dialysis
machine, using thin fibers
to capture and remove
viruses from the blood it

Faster Flu Vaccine
Spraying viral genes
directly through the skin is
a new technique that turns
infinitesimal amounts of DNA
into an effective vaccine.
If approved for use in
humans, the new procedure
could save lives in case of

Does Winter Cause The Flu?
Virologists investigating
transmission of the flu
virus found that it is more
likely to spread at colder
temperatures. The dry, cold
conditions pull moisture out
of droplets released by
