Austria: Baxter developing new vaccines

Article Abstract:

Austrian bio-technology firm Baxter is in the process of developing vaccines for Lyme disease, hepatitis A and influenza. The Lyme disease vaccine is still at the research phase. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread mainly, but not exclusively, by ticks, and there are an estimated 80,000 cases in Germany per year. The new influenza vaccine that is being developed is to be cultivated using mammal cells rather than chicken eggs, and the hepatitis A vaccine will also be cultivated using the same technology.
