CQ’s Carey Discusses Senate Hearing on HIV/AIDS Vaccine Research
Congressional Quarterly senior health reporter Mary Agnes Carey in this week's "Health on the Hill from kaisernetwork.org and CQ" discusses last week's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, where witnesses "expressed confidence" that an effective HIV/AIDS vaccine could be found but added that more needs to be done to reach that goal. Specifically, advocates and lawmakers said the effort needs more funding, better commercial incentives for companies and improved cooperation among scientists (Carey, "Health on the Hill from kaisernetwork.org and CQ," 6/27).The complete audio version of "Health on the Hill," transcript and resources for further research are available online.
