The discovery, which suggests people in milder climates are more at risk of catching the disease, is hoped to lead to new ways of preventing chickenpox and its more severe relative, shingles. Dr. Phil Rice, virologist at St. 's, University of London, found chickenpox is much less common in places with high UV ray levels. UV light is known to inactivate some viruses, and Dr. Rice believes his findings show UV rays could inactivate the varicella-zoster virus - responsible for chickenpox and shingles - on the skin before it transmits to another person. His discovery explains why

there is less transmission in the tropics, where chickenpox is much less frequent than in temperate countries." - Huffington Post, Dec. 19, 2011.If You Go to Church, Heed This Warning - "Recently the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, held an invitation-only call. The call was co-sponsored by the U.S. Health and Human Services, the Office of Minority Health, and CDC. Conspicuously, the end of the invitation read: "This call is

off the record and is not for press purposes" -- but it became public when it showed up on the HHS website. "The focus of the call was on getting faith-based organizations to sponsor flu clinics with Walgreens. Basically, they want to move inside your church, mosque or synagogue, and set up shop, with your pastor, priest, imam and rabbi on hand to convince you to get a flu shot. As an example, they cited a priest who stopped in the middle of mass to roll up his sleeve and get vaccinated, inspiring the rest of his parish to line up behind him." - Dr. ph Mercola. Mercola.com Newsletter, Dec. 6, 2011.China Prepares for Big Entry Into Vaccine Market - "The world should get ready for a new "Made in China" product - vaccines. China's vaccine makers are gearing up over the next few years to push exports in a move that should lower costs of lifesaving immunizations for the world's poor and provide major new competition for the big Western pharmaceutical companies. However, it may take some

time before some parts of the world are ready to embrace Chinese products when safety is as sensitive an issue as it is with vaccines - especially given the food, drug and other scandals the country has seen... Last year, a Chinese newspaper report linked improperly stored vaccines to four children's deaths in northern Shanxi province, raising nationwide concern. The Health Ministry said the vaccines did not cause the deaths, but some remained skeptical... Worldwide, vaccine sales last year grew 14 percent to $25.3 billion, according to healthcare market research firm Kalorama Information, as drugmakers which face intensifying competition from generic drugs now see vaccines as key areas of growth, particularly in Latin America, China and India." - Associated Press/Fox News, Nov. 29, 2011.
