AFRIMS
efforts in vaccine development have benefited people
worldwide. The Department of Virology field station
in Kamphaeng Phet province, Thailand was established
in 1981 to conduct studies of Japanese encephalitis.
Successful vaccine field trials performed among 62,000
school children led to vaccine licensure by the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States in
1992. A field study conducted among 40,000 school children
at the same field site between 1991-1993 demonstrated
the effectiveness of a vaccine against hepatitis A.
FDA licensure followed in 1995.
