Progress on bird flu vaccine

Researchers are reporting preliminary success with a vaccine against a possible 'bird flu' pandemic, using a process they say could deliver the product in half the time required by older technology.

The milestone, experts said, also offers hope for speedier production of a vaccine against seasonal flu, potentially eliminating contamination problems and shortages that have cropped up in recent years.

Reporting today in a leading medical journal, scientists with Baxter International Inc. said their avian flu vaccine - which dispenses with the cumbersome process of growing vaccine in chicken eggs - was safe and triggered an immune response.
