Well, actually, the flu vaccine has come from GB (Chiron, IIRC) in the past; there were production problems last year (I think it was actually viral contamination of the chicken embryos used to make influenza virus) which contributed to the vaccine shortage.
http://my.webmd.com/content/Article/111/109852.htm Aug. 31, 2005 -- The FDA has approved a new flu vaccine called Fluarix for adults age 18 and older. The move comes before flu season starts in the U.S. Fluarix is the first vaccine approved under the FDA's accelerated approval process. The shot got fast-track status to help ensure adequate supplies of flu shots this year. Fluarix is made by a subsidiary of GlaxoSmithKline in Germany.
