Scientists Aim for Better Vaccines for Older New Zealanders

A new project aims to improve vaccine effectiveness for older people. This initiative is a collaboration between New Zealand's Malaghan Institute and the University of Dundee in Scotland.

The focus of the research is to address the unique immune responses in older adults. These individuals often have different reactions to vaccines compared to younger populations, making this study vital.

Scientists hope to develop formulations that can better stimulate an immune response in this age group. With an aging population, the success of this project could significantly impact public health strategies in New Zealand.
