Australian scientists are developing a potential "blockbuster" vaccine that could protect against golden staph, a leading source of infection in the world's hospitals. A major human trial is now getting under way, and more than 400 healthy volunteers are sought across the country to test how their bodies respond to the prototype vaccine..."What we'll hopefully find out is what sort of boost to immunity the vaccine gives and whether or not it could stop you carrying this bug." Dr Richmond said between 20 and 40 per cent of the population were unknowing carriers of the bacteria which usually live benignly on the skin or in the nose.
Oh and there's a phone number at the end of the article if you want to sign up for the trial...:crazy:
