New Report on Norovirus Vaccine

9 12 2011

This is very good news for those of us with Emetophobia, parents of school-age children, and those “cruisers” who hate the constant haggling from the cruise line to use hand-sanitizers everywhere on the ship.

The latest report from Baylor College of Medicine (http://www.chron.com/default/article/Houston-study-hopeful-for-stomach-flu-vaccine-2376862.php) shows a positive break through with the Norovirus Vaccine.

While it won’t be available for another 5-10 years, the study found the vaccine cut the chances of catching the virus by half.  Those who got the virus after the vaccine had less serious symptoms.

Even better for those who are needle-phobic, the vaccine is a powdered form inhaled as a spray.
