Thought it was great to know Australia’s on the cusp of certain things, like research on a vaccine for a world wide pandemic.
As Reported by the Sydney Herald
and the report by CNN
The current trial is testing out the appropriate dosages of the vaccine, which aussie pharamaceutical company CSL believes will produce immunity to the virus. 240 adults were injected with in late July, another 400 children were injected in early August. Results of the trial are expected to come out next month (it takes about 6 weeks to complete).
According to Reuters a representive of the WHO commented that the vaccine should be approved and ready for use come September.
The vaccine will be like a regular flu vaccine, only it will protect against one strain of flu—the swine flu, H1N1.
The vaccine is effective for both regular flu as well as for the swine influenza H1N1, ¿really?
¿And the turkey influenza H1N1, in Chile?
Alas, no, the H1N1 vaccine is only specific to the H1N1 Swine flu vaccine. Researchers were just hoping to adjust the dosage so that I guess it would be similar to a regular flu vaccine in terms of side effects and reactions.
And I didn’t realize there was a turkey flu H1N1 in Chile!
Linda- is recent in only one farm in Valparaíso (Chile), found virus of H1N1 in the turkeys, transmitted by employees of the place farm.
