New vaccine against gonorrhoea 

A study conducted by scientists in New Zealand reveals that a vaccine has for the first time been produced to treat Sexually Transmitted Infection, gonorrhoea. 

There are fears gonorrhoea is becoming untreatable as antibiotics for its treatment fail.

The World Health Organization (WHO), sees developing a vaccine as crucial in stopping the global spread of super-gonorrhoea. 

The study of 15,000 young people, published in the Lancet, showed infections were cut by about a third. 

Untreated gonorrhoea can lead to infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease and can be passed on to a child during pregnancy.
