Bird flu vaccine possible within a year
December 8th, 2006
A World Health Organization official has made estimates that an effective vaccine against the bird flu virus could be available in a year’s time and even sooner if the world will have to face a pandemic. Marie-Paule Kieny presented this conclusion at the end of a large meeting of vaccine researchers and scientists from all around the world, that lasted four days. The 7th WHO Global Vaccine Research Forum gathered to review the progress made in the case of disease such as malaria, dengue fever, AIDS and bird flu.
