Pharmacy‐Based Immunization Delivery: A Comprehensive History and Current Challenges

open access: yesJACCP: JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CLINICAL PHARMACY, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Pharmacists and their teams have a long history of involvement with vaccines. This paper describes the contributions of pharmacy‐based immunization delivery in the United States from the 1800's to date. Early activities centered around storage and distribution of antitoxins and vaccines. From the 1950s through the early 1990s, pharmacists were

Nonencapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae: Emergence and Pathogenesis

open access: yesmBio, 2016
While significant protection from pneumococcal disease has been achieved by the use of polysaccharide and polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines, capsule-independent protection has been limited by serotype replacement along with disease caused by ...

The Political Economy of Patent Buyouts

open access: yesThe RAND Journal of Economics, Volume 57, Issue 2, Page 315-333, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Incentivizing innovation through buyouts may alleviate the social costs associated with patent power, but the political economy and feasibility of this potentially important financing mechanism have been understudied. We study an international setting of countries with different innovation and financing capabilities, and where financing ...
