    Addiction Protection By Susan Gaidos: Article Summary

    However, scientist are having a hard time creating a vaccine that can prevent the heroin from affecting the person for many reasons. One is that the particles in heroin are very tiny and hard to find and the second is that when heroin is injected it is not just one foreign body it is thousands. Kim Janda and his team of scientists found a breakthrough in producing one of these vaccines. They found in mice that the heroin antibodies alone did not prevent the animal from getting high, because once absorbed the heroin is broken down to morphine and 6-AM. This new discovery was a breakthrough and lead to the creation of a “cocktail” vaccine. This vaccine is special because instead of targeting a single invader like other vaccines it targets the morphine, and 6-AM by carrying a drug like protein, heptin to induce an immune response and finally alum to jumpstart the immune system. After 6 years of modification the vaccine was tested in mice. The results were that the vaccine prevented addicted mice from getting high because heroin had no impact on their brains! These mice eventually stopped seeking out the drug altogether because they were unable to get the satisfaction they wanted. Because this vaccine is only tailored to heroin, patients will still be…

    Individuals who inject drugs are at high risk for Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection through the sharing of needles and drug-preparation equipment (CDC, 2016).
