India : Indian H1N1 virus vaccine by mid-May

Via Hindustan Times :

" The government will introduce an indigenous vaccine for the H1N1 virus that causes swine flu by mid-May, said Sujatha Rao, Secretary, Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare last week.

"The indigenous vaccine should be out by the middle of May," said Rao on the sidelines of the International Conference on Health Systems Strengthening, being held in Kelambakkam, Tamil Nadu.

The reason for this is that there may be new cases or incidence of H1N1 virus, Rao said."
