Swine Flu Vaccine
Filed in archive Drugs, Vaccines and Therapeutics on July 19, 2009
© EneasScientists are on a race in the development of a vaccine against swine flu. Researchers at the University of Antwerp will be testing 4 potential vaccines for H1N1v in a trial involving 300 to 400 volunteers and expects that a Mexican flu vaccine is available early November.
"Most producers will have their test vaccines ready by the middle or end of August" says Van Damme. "But a vaccine can only be launched on the market when is has been tested on healthy volunteers. This procedure is also followed for other test vaccines. The vaccination of volunteers will take place in the course of August and September, because all test vaccines come with a vaccination scheme of 2 doses."

The vaccines had side effects to the people they used for the trial of the capability of the vaccine to fight the virus. There are reported cases about the adverse effects of it. I hope the next batch of vaccine would not harm the people.
