Vaccine against bird flu is almost ready to go to market
A spokesman announced
World Health Organization, that scientists have finally created an effective vaccine against influenza as possible.
Clinical trials with a vaccine against influenza, made by Sanofi Pasteur. The conclusions were that it took two injections of the vaccine administered distance of four weeks to vaccinate at least 50% of the human organism.
The Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Anthony S. Fauci, he was very concerned about the new vaccine and thrilled the immune properties, also says he believes the testing is an important step in the attempt on the world to stop a possible global pandemic.
Currently, the Government of the United States stocks of just four million doses of H5N1 vaccine, but this amount is not sufficient for all persons in the event of a pandemic is declared to cover.
A solution to stretch the vaccine stored by use of the vaccine on immunity substance (adjuvant) to stimulate, and so this reduction in the amount of vaccine necessary to immunize the human body and to mitigate the effects of the vaccine.
Now there are clinical studies with the adjuvant substances to see how the immune response to vaccines.
John Treanor, MD, director of the Vaccine Evaluation Unit and treatment at the University of Rochester in New York, said that, as it turned out that they need a higher dose of H5N1 vaccine to promote wanted immunity, a vaccine against influenza normal Man was made surprised scientists suspect that in the first test of the vaccine.
The high dose of the vaccine against the bird flu has caused a kind of immune response, which was to protect people in 1997 known case of an outbreak of H5N1 in Hong Kong.
Scientists are not sure whether the vaccine is effective in cases of human transmission of the virus, and they are not willing to expose the volunteers in the study of potentially deadly bird flu.
In developing much faster for new vaccines against avian influenza, the U.S. government supports producers to spend more and more vaccine in chicken eggs, the acceleration of cell culture techniques.
It is very important for manufacturers to produce new vaccines to accelerate, because the H5N1 virus is rapidly changing to a more aggressive would cause a human pandemic.
The good news is that governments consider the storage of H5N1 vaccine and the scientists are ready to create new and improved vaccines in the case of the development of the virus.
