Urethritis

Sexually transmitted infection (STI) species vaccines

Development of effective vaccines for STIs has mainly progressed against human papillomavirus but vaccines to other target organisms are being developed.[52]Gottlieb SL, Johnston C. Future prospects for new vaccines against sexually transmitted infections.

At least one chlamydia vaccine is in human trials.[53]US National Institutes of Health; ClinicalTrials.gov.
