World Health Orginization: Swine flu vaccine will be ready by September

AUGUST 6, 2009 18:12

Swine flu vaccine manufacturers are on track to start delivering the first batches of it in September, the World Health Organization said Thursday. Marie-Paule Kieny, WHO's vaccine director, said several drug makers have started testing swine flu vaccine in humans, and that early safety results should be available next month, clearing the way for its use. Kieny also insisted that speeding the vaccine to the market will not compromise its safety. WHO has recommended the first recipients of the vaccine be health care workers, perhaps followed by pregnant women and people with underlying health problems. It is the first time that companies have rushed to produce a vaccine within months to fight a flu pandemic. Health officials expect swine flu to surge in the fall, with the return of the regular flu season.
