Forbes, December 15, 1997. (ref. Pg.254) "SmithKline's promising vaccines"
It is a brief write up on SKB's vaccine hopes from one mans perspective.
I'll quote the one and only statement that is related to NVX : "The company's latest DNA-derived vaccine is an updated version of the classic childhood diptheria-tetanus-whooping cough inoculation."

We'll talking here about the SKB vaccine that was recently approved, for the 1st three shots only in infants. The adverse events were so severe by the 4th shot that they, SKB never finished the study let alone go for the 5th shot.
As I said in an earlier post if anyone wants to seriously know more about how they, SKB, are doing with their lastest "DNA-derived"?????????? DTaP vaccine they should contact the Swedes.
But than too, whose DTaP vaccine do you use for the booster if you use the SKB vaccine for shots 1, 2 & 3?
I don't mean to knock SKB as a drug company.
The Point I am trying to make is: 1) that right now NVX's competition with DTaP will come from Lederle and Connaught in the U.S.and not from SKB, 2) this article did not disclose anything new that would change the situation and 3) If you unloaded NVX today because of this article you goofed. :-}
