- Vaccines Save Lives
Health Organisation (WHO) calls on European policymakers, health care workers and parents to increase vaccination efforts against measles and warns of growing numbers of parents refusing to vaccinate their children “Speaking as a doctor, I don’t think there’s any question that vaccines have been the most effective Are we now seeing the return of the vaccine war? When in reality, animal research is essential for testing the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
- EARA COMMENT: In defence of life-saving science: why Canada's primate research must continue

Mice play an essential role in both vaccine and drug development for Covid-19. Pigs are used in Covid-19 vaccine testing to help scientists better understand how safe and effective a new vaccine is and therefore whether it is suitable for human trials.
