Improvements in living conditions including improved sanitation, hygiene, water supplies and housing, better nutrition and isolation procedures have been the main reasons for this.

Vaccines - Warnings About Vaccine Expectations

Bacterial vaccines are grown in a culture medium which provides the required nutrients. Viruses for vaccines are grown in living tissue or using continuous cell-lines. Animal blood products and tissues as well as human tissue cell-lines are used in this process. For example: tetanus bacteria for vaccines is cultured in bovine (calf) serumviruses for polio vaccines are grown in African green monkey kidney (VERO) cellsrubella, rotavirus and chickenpox viruses are cultured on human diploid cells (foetal cells).measles, mumps, influenza and Q fever vaccine strain viruses are grown in chick embryo cell cultures.hepatitis B and HPV vaccines are produced using genetically modified yeast cells.

Foreign proteins, bacteria and viruses from these cultures and tissues can contaminate the vaccines and may trigger severe allergic reactions.35 Vaccines can vary in the amount of ‘bacterial toxoid’ or ‘attenuated (weakened) viruses’ from one batch to another.
