Our friends at Merck play a vital role in protecting infants and all human life through immunization. Their “Inventing For Life” vision has developed vaccines to prevent diseases such as Measles, Mumps, Rubella, HPV 9 strains, Varicella, Zoster, Pneumococcal, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, and Rotavirus. The impressive history of the efforts of microbiologists like Maurice Hilleman launched a culture to move forward in developing new desperately needed vaccines to prevent the diseases of today and tomorrow.
