recommended vaccine schedule. makstman: so, the plan is to be fully vaccinated as soon as possible, but we're doing one vaccine at a time. i don't know if that's the right way. i don't know where we came up with that. yeah, i don't know. narrator: yuliya patsay has a four-year-old and is expecting another child soon. she delayed vaccinating her oldest till she was three. i was concerned that her immune system couldn't handle it, and we just waited. my son and her, they're not vaccinated yet, and my older ones don't have boosters. narrator: marianna fastovsky has four children. she vaccinated at first, but then one child had a seizure. fastovsky: i'm just really worried about reactions. and i am worried about the diseases. so i'm kind of confused, really. narrator: in america, children must be vaccinated before they start kindergarten. but the required shots vary from state to state, and most allow for exemptions based on personal or religious beliefs. here in california, almost three percent of children are exempt

community then and vaccinated with living in the vaccinated community.nd vaccinated person is protected by the bodies around her by which it does not circulate but if you are vaccinated by surrounding by those that are left foldable to feel you're feeding immunity. we're protected not so much by your own skin but what is beyond. the boundaries between our bodies begin to dissolve blood and organs moved between us exiting and entering which is a common trust as much as a private account for:those of us who drive on collective immunity o our house to our neighbors. >> i will do one more excerpt and then i will take questions. >> the belief the public health measures are not intended for people like us is widely held by many people like me. public health is for people with less. less education, less taxes - - access and less time and money i have heard mother suggest the standard childhood immunization schedule groups multiple shots because the mothers will not come frequently enough to get those 26 shotsy no matter that we may find those visits daunting. s

an example of vaccine the moment. we can put money and effort and resources and minds into the loving a safe vaccine, but there's no guarantee that work. the most glaring examples is hiv, hepatitis c. there are no licensed vaccines against any parasitic disease. those are some examples. a lot of brilliant minds and research has been put forward, for example, to developing an hiv vaccine, but we are not there. i say that because there is no guarantee there will be a safe vaccine. hopefully it will be safe. hopefully there will be an immune response. using the model, trying to learn from the past, one thing we have tried to do for 30 years with hiv vaccines is up for a particular immune response. th\at almost never occurs with hiv. but with ebola, it seems that it does. in this outbreak, approximately 50% of people have survived. they're not feeling really good -- they are feeling really bad when they survive, but some are feeling better than others. so one of the points, point 16 out of 18, people are cured of ebola, b

vaccines may be able to be rushed into service sooner, we would hope, but vaccines will not save anybodyo is infected and will only be effective if large numbers of the population can be vaccinated, which presupposes two things. first, that sufficient amounts of a safe and effective vaccine can be produce d. and secondly, that we can induce the threatened populations to accept this vaccine. and you have to understand in these areas, we're having people still denying that ebola is real. and those who do get it are hiding from the medical establishment for a variety of reasons, which is making the entire control of this epidemic much more problematic. >> i was just going to follow up on this. i know this is a horrible thought, but it's occurring to me and i wanted to ask the question. if you think about influenza a and h1n1, which was a direct potential threat to western europe, the united states, australia, we very rapidly got a vaccine within months. here we're going back to essentially a regional tragedy since 1976. i think public health experts at the cdc have said one day it will come

but at the same time, ebola could be an important target for a vaccine. >> wanted vaccine acts as a carrier of benign genetic material from the strain of ebola that has killed 1500 people in west africa so far. that way, the immune system learns how to protect itself from the virus. the vaccine has proved effective on large animals. human testing in the u.s. was approved today, 20 american volunteers in the center in maryland were given the vaccine this week. but time is running out. 10,000 doabses are already being produced by pharmaceutical giant, glaxosmithkline. ready to be dispatched to the world health organization if and when the vaccine is deemed safe. the first recipient will be front line health workers. already, at least 120 of them have died treating patients. >> we have to have a treatment as soon as possible. but we don't think that we'll be able to stop this outbreak now. it's very important for the future, but it will not be the solution right now. it's important to have a lot more treatment in isolation centers. >> two other vaccines will undergo human clinical trials by ea

the vaccine doesn't contain the infectious virus and can't cause the person vaccinated to become infectedst phase of the trial is expected to be finished by the end of the year. up to 10,000 doses have been produced. trials are taking place. the vaccine could immediately become available to people in high risk communities. clinical trials of this vaccine are moving very fast. >> it normally takes years for development of a vaccine to come into effective use in humans. this vaccine has been in development several years. animal studies have already been done. they've proved the vaccine is effective at stimulating an antibody response monkeys. the vaccine itself is perfectly safe. it's not going to cause ebola virus disease in any volunteers or the vaccine compromises the harmless chimpanzee virus engineered to show one of the genes of the ebola virus. it cannot cause the ebola disease. the virus itself only causes common cold symptoms. >> it's just one proprotein. it's one small part of the ebola virus. how can that one small part generate the proper response in the body. >> we have to look

we're working on a universal flu vaccine which would be effective against all vaccine strains and we believe we are in a pathway to get there. we would be further along if nih had not been in a circumstance of losing more purchasing power. this takes a lot of time and effort but we have not been able to move up the pace we would really like to. a wake-up call about the consequences of having those limitations when there is really a serious risk of worldwide illness. much of your work is focused on preventing illness and how much is focused on treating illnesses? >> it of course has to be both. vaccines are an incredible contribution to the world. that hasok at the way prevented countless deaths, from childhood illnesses and such things as influenza, it is worth every penny. sick.ople still get we want to have something to offer them, whatever the illnesses. we put a huge amount of effort into therapeutic spirit we work as part of the ecosystem, basic science researchers funded by the government, doing things that would not get done by the private sector, but we work with our partners

the first is vaccine safety. we are confident that the vaccine will be saved. the studies have an fine. our institute has used this type of vaccine in over 1000 people for a different disease. the safety profile should be similar. the second thing we're looking for is a response. we need that to protect people against ebola. we need to figure out the right dose stop we are doing a study to figure out how little vaccine. it cannot go quickly enough to serve the population's. they desperately need vaccinations. the vaccine is being manufactured with the trials. >> is that the biggest challenge what are the biggest obstacles to implementing? nothe biggest problem is business case for private companies. risk you would say is that the outbreak is called. afford to buy a vaccine. price you would need to make it. the only way for that i can see is the public sector coming together with the private sector to make stockpiles for diseases like these and have the stockpile ready when the next outbreak comes. >> adrian hill. thank you for joining us this morning. we wish y

- term health facility got vaccinated.the focus on children they are most at risk. we'll bring in the medical panel and the er doctor in emory hospital. and dr. manny alvarez. and a fox new medical a- teamer and chuck williams, psychologist. why are so many parents avoiding vaccinations for their young children? >> we can blame people like jenny mccarthy. trained in infectious diseases, not. she is an actor and comedian and how she's against vaccinations and because of that, we had a trend in certain communities where they are deciding not to vaccinate their children to prevent them from getting sick and developing something like autism, although no research drew a link between autism and vaccination. >> i have young children. and that is one of my pet peeves with my child's pediatrician. there is no link. >> it is parents who don't think they need it? doctor? >> there is a lot of misinformation developing for decades and many celebrities want to be doctors are moving forward. my position is much stronger than that. they h

they don't want to be a victim of a very severe vaccine reaction. >> if you don't vaccinate your child or if you're waiting to think about it, then you're taking a risk. you're putting their life at risk potentially. >> reporter: you're gambling. >> are you, you're gambling. and usually gambling you lose. >> reporter: carter evans, cbs news, owner county, california. >> axelrod: and up next, the enthusiasm gap that could decide the midterm elections. >> axelrod: we are now a little more than five weeks away from the midterm elections, and pollsters looking for clues of what might happen on election day are finding an enthusiasm gap between republican and democratic voters. let's bring in cbs news election directors anthony salvanto. anthony, which party has the edge when it comes to enthusiasm? >> the republicans do, jim. and consistently, in the polls, you see a republican lead. and this enthusiasm gap is really the single biggest reason. their voters tell us that they're definitely going to vote, and that they're enenthusiastic about it. by a factor of 12 points over democrats, repub

, an hiv vaccine. we're not there. i only say that because there's no guarantee that we'll have a safe and effective ebola advantage seep. hopefully, it's going to be safe, hopefully it'll do some immune response. so the last thing i want to say is that using the model, trying to learn from the past, past is prologue to now and the future, one thing we've tried to do for almost 30 years is to look for a protective immune response that occurs naturally. with ebola, it seems that it does. so in this outbreak approximately 50% -- it depends on how accurate those numbers are and only time will tell, but approximately 50% of people have survived. they're not, they're not feeling really good -- they're feeling really bad when they've survived, but some are feeling better than others sooner than others, etc. so so one of the point 16 out of 18 is persons who are cured of ebola are underappreciated, and i'd say from multiple points of view, one of which is the scientific point of view. so is i'd argue it would

then the issue of vaccines. this is that effort to protect people we have been working on the ebola vaccine in the process we have improved upon. we have favorable results with those civil models using one of two candidates that is that glaxo smithkline candidate that was developed at the nih in collaboration with glaxo smithkline and looked very good with that animal steady. but the proof is in the pudding to show scientifically that it works. on september 2nd in bethesda we started the first phase one study of this vaccine but so far 10 of 20 were vaccinated and so far no red flags. we will expand these studies to try to prove the fact we have a safe and effective vaccine. in closing of a like to reiterate as the dual mandate of nih research with infectious disease. but to have that microbiology infectious diseases but also that mandate to respond rapidly and efficiently with those counter measures that prevent mortality to have the citizens and clearly ebola is the most daunting of those infectious diseases a

absent a vaccine, why can't it be stopped or contained?> >> well, i think the main reason it has not been stop redirect examination the combination of the poverty and the relatively weak medical structure, and then the cultural infamiliarity with the virus led to the situation that's even referred to as exponential spread. that each infected individual is infecting more than one person, so the outbreak is growing. so the public health containment measures infection control is going to bring that number down to less than one. and i hear some optimism that the community there beginning to accept. that that's the behavior issues about how you come into close contact with person whose are infected or who have died of the virus. needs to be reversed. vaccines and therapies have an important role in all of this, especially in protecting medical workers and protecting household contacts with those who have been infected. but the main prevention, the way to bend that curb, to snuff out transmission is going to be just isolation and quarantine, and

vaccines are preventive but for people already infected, vaccines will not help so there you need a treatment. people have heard about zmapp. cocktail of antibiotics shown in animal model to be protective against dying from this disease. we want to be able to see how that works. a total of seven people have received zmapp as part of a come passionate use effort inclusion the two individuals we first heard about that were air lifted to emory hospital in georgia. we don't know with seven individuals whether this work in humans or not. the problem is those were the only seven does that's existed. nobody expected a big push so barta is pushing forward with dollars from the cr, a scaleup of thattest. for technical reasons, that is not trivial. acts are developed in a tobacco leaf program. and that doesn't necessarily turn into something where you just turn the crank and have lots of it. it is taking a while to do that scaleup. two or three other therapeutics are promising but none in human trials. we have a big push there as well. as far as nih, we did not receive additional dollars in the continu

and it could come down to a vaccine. glaxo is in the very early stages of testing to make sure it is safe and that it triggers an immune response. and hopefully early next year they will be able to get something to health-care workers . >> is vaccine the best hope that this point? obama has pledged troops and money. the united nations has an emergency group on the ground. it still seems like no matter how much we ramp up efforts to control a virus, which is what we need to do to stop the spread and stop each infected person from spreading into 2-3-five other people, every time we ramp up containment efforts, the virus spreads even quicker. >> there is a quote in this story from the codiscoverer of the ebola virus. he says without a vaccine we may not be able to stop this epidemic. >> that is a possibility. there is a fear that if we don't do something soon then something -- and health officials do not fear will -- do not feel we , this couldough yet become endemic in africa. the longer it is circulating in africa, the bi
