U.K. health authorities are convinced that vaccination for the deadly hospital bug will be available in hospitals within a decade.

A drug to prevent Clostridium difficile (C diff) will be available in three to five years, while a vaccine against MRSA will be available in seven to 10 years.

 Professor Sir Liam Donaldson, the Government's chief medical officer told that these new vaccinations will help to immunize patients against the deadly infections.

He further added that these vaccines could be used in two ways. Firstly these medications can be used to protect the person going for a major surgery in the hospital.

Secondly it can also help in eradicating these infections by interrupting the chain of transmission.  

Dr. Donaldson added that "infection control measures" would still be followed.

According to him, hygiene is very important to prevent many new infections.
He further said, "You might be able to get close to eliminating them with a vaccine. But if you didn't concentrate on hygiene measures, something else would come along to replace them."
