20 July - Health - TB Vaccine study to prevent all forms of TB!!!

In today's show we heard from Dr Tony Hawkeridge – from the Aeras Global TB Vaccine Foundation. We were talking about a new collaboration to study TB Vaccines in people living with HIV in South Africa. It is reported that TB is the leading cause of death in people living with HIV in Africa and Asia. An effective and affordable TB vaccine is needed to reverse the TB epidemic. The Aeras Global TB Vaccine Foundation (Aeras) and the South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative (SATVI) of the University of Cape Town are leading players in the global initiative to find new vaccines to prevent all forms of TB. The Aurum Institute has now joined these efforts to stop TB. They met today at the Cape Town Convention Centre to discuss ways of finding a new and effective vaccine that is safe for people of all ages as well as those living with HIV.
