Germany ships 1.2 million flu vaccines to the US

[babypurin]

The government said Tuesday that flu vaccine manufactured in Germany was safe enough to be used in the United States and that as many as 4 million doses would be available to alleviate the U.S. shortage.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said the government was immediately buying 1.2 million doses of the vaccine, called Fluarix, which will be available this month, and said British manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline had agreed to make about 3 million more doses available later.

The US must've paid a good price, because we have a lack of vaccines ourselves *cough**cough**cough**cough*.
