Another BHS Success Story

     Congratulations to Delbert Hank Harris, BHS-61, CEO of Harrisvaccines of Ames. That firm is selling itself to Merck & Company for the purpose of general expansion of both as a partnership. In 2014, Harrisvaccines became the first company to ever receive approval for a vaccine to help protect piglets from the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus that killed millions of pigs in more than 30 states including Iowa, the country's largest pork producer.
     Harrisvaccines also will be supplying the U.S. Department of Agriculture with a vaccine to help prevent poultry from getting the bird flu virus that was evident in Iowa and 14 other states this year.
