WHO prepares H1N1 vaccines for developing countries

GENEVA (Reuters) - The World Health Organisation has launched a programme to give H1N1 flu vaccines to nearly 100 developing countries, with the first ones receiving the shots soon, its vaccine expert said on Friday.

Marie-Paule Kieny, head of vaccine research at the U.N. health body, said a group of 16 countries was being contacted and should shortly receive enough vaccines to inoculate up to 2 percent of the population.
The countries were recommended to vaccinate health care workers first, she told a news conference.

Eventually the WHO would supply 95 developing countries with a view to immunising over 10 percent of their population against pandemic H1N1, widely known as swine flu.


WHO has received donations of 156 million doses of vaccine from four manufacturers or governments, and hoped to reach the 200 million dose level needed to help 95 countries, she said.
Donor governments are also helping with syringes, needles, other equipment and finance.
The WHO declared H1N1 an unstoppable pandemic in June and it has since spread around the world, with 25 manufacturers making vaccines to different formulations.
WHO experts say the vaccines, of which one shot suffices, are safe.
Teenagers and young adults are most likely to catch swine flu, in contrast to the seasonal flu viruses where the elderly are most at risk.
Most people escape with mild symptoms, but some groups such as pregnant women or people with previous health conditions such as diabetes can suffer severe illness or die from the virus.

I really hope that these vaccines will help people avoid the virus. I think we've had enough scams regarding vaccines that don't work. And instead had an opposite effect.

Is the H1N1 vaccine really necessary? From what I've heard only 2% of reported cases tested are even the H1N1 variety and the death rate hasn't been that high...
