Vaccination against Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
- Question
- Ladies and Gentlemen,
I feel sorry that the vaccine Aerugen (Berna) has not been marketed yet, although the vaccination was successful in CF patients.
Why it is not possible that grown-up CF patients decide for or against vaccination? Is this vaccine still available? How is the development of other potent vaccines in the near future?
Thank you for your attention.
Karin T. - Answer
- Dear Mrs T.,
The Berna Vaccine is not available because the company has stopped the production after a negative phase III study. I do not see another vaccine development against Pseudomonas in the near future.
I hope, that this helps.
