U.S. has bought 195 million doses of H1N1 vaccine
The U.S. government has bought 195 million doses of H1N1 swine flu
vaccine for a possible autumn vaccination campaign, a U.S. federal
official said Thursday.
The U.S. Health and Human Services Department has also contracted for
120 million doses of adjuvant, a compound to stretch the number of
doses of vaccine needed, the department’s Dr. Robin Robinson told a
meeting of Food and Drug Administration advisers.
Five companies are making H1N1 vaccine for the U.S. market —
AstraZeneca’s MedImmune unit, Australia’s CSL Ltd, GlaxoSmithKline Plc,
Novartis AG and Sanofi-Aventis SA.
Earlier, an FDA official said vaccine makers were only getting about 30
percent as much vaccine from eggs as they usually get with seasonal
influenza vaccine.
