A recent article from Imperial College London discussed early success for the first vaccine for genital chlamydia, the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection that can cause infertility. The randomized controlled trial was conducted on 35 healthy women at Imperial College London and the Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen.
