HIV vaccine
According to Gary J. Nabel of the Vaccine Research Center in Bethesda, Maryland, several hurdles must be overcome before scientific research will culminate in a definitive AIDS vaccine.. First, greater translation between animal models and human trials must be established. Second, new, more effective, and more easily produced vectors must be identified. Finally, and most importantly, there must arise a robust understanding of the immune response to potential vaccine candidates. Emerging technologies that enable the identification of T-cell-receptor specificities and cytokine profiles will prove invaluable in hastening this process.
A study that has had success in animal subjects is about to begin human trials in London, Ontario.

Immunization Records
In order to keep immunization storage records safe and/or accessible, there are a few different storage options to consider.
For babies and toddlers who are still regularly visiting pediatricians for vaccinations and booster shots, vaccination records should be kept in a handy, but secure place, such as a diaper bag or baby book.
For adults who rarely receive immunizations or rarely need to access records, a secure fireproof safe is one of the best storage options. Short of that fireproof security, Ziploc sandwich bags make handy watertight storage containers. Place the documents in a well-labeled file cabinet, freezer, or other secure location that is not likely to be disturbed. For those who are adept at computers, it may be wise to scan immunization record cards to keep an electronic copy available in case anything ever happens to the original.

Varicella vaccine
A "pox party" is a party held by parents for the purpose of infecting their children with childhood diseases. Similar ideas have applied to other diseases, e.g. measles, but are now discouraged by doctors and health services due to the risk of serious injury or death (even in children, as described above) from acquiring the disease. The reasoning behind such parties is that guests exposed to the varicella virus will contract the disease and develop strong and persistent immunity at an age before disaster is likely, particularly from chickenpox or rubella. The first reference to such a practice is the letter of Lady Montagu to Sarah Chiswell describing parties held in Istanbul for the purpose of variolation—an effective technique for gaining immunity to smallpox.UCLA library Lady Montagu imported variolation to England.
