Benefits of Vaccines in Eradicating Infectious Diseases
Led by an accomplished biochemical engineer and biophysicist, Dr. Donald Gerson, the PnuVax team has a combined experience of over three decades in the biopharmaceutical industry. PnuVax is a privately-held startup that develops and produces vaccines.
Vaccines are one of the most important discoveries of this generation that would benefit even thousands of future generations. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that massive vaccination campaigns have prevented 2.5 million deaths caused by infectious diseases every year.
Worldwide immunization campaigns have been successful in eradicating infectious diseases. Smallpox has been eradicated according to the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention, while only a few populations are yet to receive polio vaccines and it would also be eradicated.
Smallpox and polio are the diseases that would likely resurge without vaccines. As for polio, WHO reported that without vaccines, 200,000 new cases will emerge every year in the next ten years. Then, there are a host of other infectious diseases that may kill or disable, like measles. WHO reported that measles vaccination has prevented an estimated 21.1 million deaths between 2000 and 2017.
