A few months ago there was breif disccusion about an "otitis vaccine". With
permission from Kathy B I had posted info that this is
a vacine against strept pneumoniae (pnuemococcus)
Recently a study in California with 37000+ infants showed
a conjugate vaccine for this bacterai to be effective in infants.
One can search the Infectiouss Diseaeses inChildren web site to
read more on this.
