The HIV/AIDS vaccine that the Merck Pharmaceutical Company was testing on patients in the DR has been declared ineffective. The vaccine was being tested on thousands of patients who didn't have the virus, and it didn't reduce the viral count of HIV/AIDS in the bodies of those already infected. The information was provided by the Dominican Vaccine Unit. The vaccine was created by combining three components, each one a replica of a component of the common cold. Yeycy Donastorg of the Vaccine Unit said that this setback just provides a challenge for a vaccine to be created. She also reminded that the polio vaccine took 47 years to develop, Measles took 30 years, Hepatitis A took 22 and Hepatitis B took 16 years.
