New Vaccine

Here is some exciting news for us.  The replacement for Prevnar, called Prevnar-13, has been released.  Prevnar protects against the 7 most common strains of a severe bacterial infection called Pneumococcus.  Prevnar-13 adds to the older drug with 6 more strains providing improved protection against this common and unplesant disease.  The new vaccine will ship in several weeks and hopefully be available for administration in a month or two.
