The London News Paper, "The Independent", published on July 13th 2004 announced that genetically modified plant may be used for vaccines against rabies and Aids. Although opposed by the environmentalists concerned with using genetically modified plants, the article stated that the “clinical trials of the first vaccine derived from GM plants are planned to take place in 2009” (The Independent). The trial for this experiment would most likely take place in Africa, and if success occurs it would lead to a large cost benefit for the production of vaccines. A plant technologist, Philip Dale, at the John Innes Centre in Norwich who is the project's biosafety coordinator, along with the South Africa's Council for Scientific and Industrial Research are ready to start the new exploration for the better access of vaccines against disease!
