H1N1 Precautions Onboard SQ

[Gunnar Smithsen]

As the WHO and the CDC are lagging on a vaccine, does anyone know if smaller countries (read: S'pore) are working on this themselves?

Further to lee_apromise's note, the boffins here at CSL (manufacturers of Tamiflu here in Australia) have (if I understand correctly) also developed a vaccine for H1N1 but are awaiting human trials to verify it.

Word is it will be available from next year.

What do you mean lagging? It takes time to properly isolate strains, identify the best ones to use in a vaccine and ramp up production. Then there is lots of testing, etc.

'Lagging' = not on HUGE AL's timeline.
