I'm looking forward to presenting tonight to colleages in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Office of Vaccines Review and Research on our ongoing work to understand how disruption of the microbiota in early life leads to impaired vaccine immunogenicity.

Thanks to ABC news for featuring our work today. www.abc.net.au/news/health/...

Gut bacteria may explain why antibiotics make vaccines less effective

It has long been a mystery why antibiotics reduces the effectiveness of some vaccines, but researchers believe bacteria in the gut may play a pivotal role.

Early Life Antibiotics Put Vaccine Response at Risk

While antibiotics given in the first week of life reduce vaccine responses at 15 months, probiotics might counteract these effects.
