Vaccine teams for four of the world's largest vaccine manufacturers
say they have the seed stock they need to develop a new swine flu vax
for use this autumn. But the researchers add that they're still
uncertain just how much of the growing demand for the vaccine can be
met.
"It will probably take a couple of weeks to ascertain the yields
before we get into large-scale manufacture," a Glaxo spokesman told
Reuters. Teams for GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi-Aventis, Novartis and
Solvay all say they're at work on a new H1N1 jab, but they need to
determine how well the strain they're working with will grow in a
manufacturing setting before they can calculate yields.
All these vaccine manufacturers could reap windfall profits from a
burst of new orders for the new flu vaccine. Developed countries have
already started to ink contracts. And the manufacturers will be able
to shift from seasonal flu vaccines to the H1N1 vax as they deploy a
new array of resources built in recent years to improve on the world's
supply of vaccines.
