Live-attenuated HIV vaccines: How safe is safe enough?Michael Murphey-CorbTulane Regional Primate Research Center, 18703 Three Rivers Road, Covington, Louisiana 70433, USA A live-attenuated SIV vaccine inducing protection in healthy adult monkeys appears both safe and effective but may be lethal when given in high doses to newborns (pages 32−36).
