This finally hit home. My Cousin's daughter positive for H1N1... Nothing like being under a year old old with one of the worst flu's in history... That shot doesn't help now either. North East getting slammed, and vaccine roll out crippled! ~~~ *November 2, 2009 *Initially, the government said 120 million doses of swine flu<http://www.newsday.com/topics/Swine_Flu>vaccine would be available by mid-October. Dr. Thomas Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<http://www.newsday.com/topics/Centers_for_Disease_Control_and_Prevention>, said on Friday that 26.1 million doses are available. http://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/swine-flu-vaccine-originates-in-upstate-labs-1.1563773 *Cell-growing technique encouraged * Still, given the slow results, many experts are questioning the time-honored method based on eggs. Higher yields can be achieved with a newer technology that grows the virus in cells instead of eggs, Belshe said. The U.S. Health and Human Services Department has given vaccine makers more than $1 billion to encourage building cell-based flu manufacturing sites in the United States <http://www.newsday.com/topics/United_States>. But the cell method remains more expensive for manufacturers than using eggs, he said. Novartis said it expects to open a cell-based flu vaccine plant in this country later this year. But several other companies have abandoned plans for such plants here. Instead, they've renovated their egg plants. Other companies are developing so-called recombinant vaccines using proteins or DNA but those are still in various stages of development and production. In the meantime, Bucher and her lab will carry on producing vaccine strains the old-fashioned way. "It continues to be a good way to make vaccine, despite a couple of bumps in the road," she said. "The virus just loves to grow in eggs." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
