Rocky Mountain Laboratory in Hamilton Montana developed the vaccine for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever .?


In the 1950's vaccinations were given at the grade school in Victor, Montana. Is this vaccination still available? My email address is: ysengr@yahoo.com

In the 1950's in the heyday of success for preventing polio with vaccines, there was a pretty lax regulatory environment for vaccines. In those days, you could grow rickettsia in chicken embryos, kill them, grind and inject. Those days are gone. Higher safety standards for vaccines means ther ei scurrently NO available vaccine for rocky mountain spotted fever.

Instead, teh biotech/capital venture approach is being taken and vaccines are being developed using recombinant technology, expressing a surface rptein of the rickettsia in a baculovirus and purifying the protein for injection. No one knows whether this will work.
