Long term storage studies with a new stabilised formulation of yellow fever virus vaccine.
A new formulation of yellow fever virus vaccine incorporating a stabiliser has been prepared which is very much more stable than conventional unstabilised vaccines. This vaccine has a half life of 2-4 years at 4 degrees C, 9 months at 20 degrees C and 10 days at 37 degrees C. Its greater stability should have considerable advantages, especially when it is used in tropical countries.
