Vaccines without refrigeration possible, says Cambridge Biostability

21/10/2004 - A new technology that could revolutionise vaccine delivery by eliminating the need for refrigeration has been given UK government funding in a project to deliver immunisations to the developing world.

The UK Department for International Development has awarded the company behind the development, Cambridge Biostability, a £950,000 (€1.38bn) grant to bring to production a pentavalent childhood vaccine - i.e. one that guards against five infections in one shot - that can be stored without refrigeration.
