Ear Infection Vaccine?
Czech researchers seem to have found an effective vaccine against childhood ear infections. While this would undoubtedly make many kids lives easier (but cut down on sick days, sadly), there are questions as to whether kids should be vaccinated against something that's so rarely more than a nuisance.
But, doesn't S. pneumoniae cause strep throat too? Getting rid of that would be awesome. Since I get it three times a year.
