Is nice that you emphasize that the H1N1 strain is not as deadly as for example H5N1. I see this event as a path to increase preparedness and response method futhermore ackwoledge that a pandemic can happen again and is a serious matter. Hey, the information is very useful.

First the protocols for who is going to received the first vaccines should be specific: high risk groups and health professionals . Then , using those techniques you mentioned, and making it completely safe for public use , there will be enough to be given to the entire public. Pandemic threats are just beginning. Keep it up.

I had no idea what it took to generate vaccines. No wonder it takes so much time... its a very old method! Insightful and useful article. I had no idea what it took to generate vaccines.

Hope you can send the message along to those decision makers. Nice article Dr.

I wonder if they would need to produce different VLPs every season and what the time requirement is. Virus like particles (VLPs) sounds very promising.

Perhaps that can be the topic of another article (race against time). Seems to me our policy makers should be focusing on expediting this process with funding. Very nice feature.
