Rotateq and Rotarix -A story of vaccine contamination and prevention
Update: 2021-01-26
Description
In 2010, two companies learned their vaccines for a childhood infection (rotavirus) had another virus present: porcine circovirus. Both companies couldn't detect the virus lurking in a key material used for vaccine manufacture, and it went undetected until an academic lab discovered with new technology.
Virologist and Vaccine Developer Dick Hesse from Kansas State University joins me and Diane to discuss vaccine contamination. We are also joined by Julia Schaar with Medgene Labs (https://www.medgenelabs.com/) a local livestock vaccine developer to share best practices for preventing product contamination.
