WHO to distribute Swine Flu vaccines

Switzerland: World Health Organization (WHO) announced Monday that it will distribute vaccines against swine flu A (H1N1) in 100 countries with low and mid incomes.

The vaccines should be effective with the application of only one.

Chief of WHO vaccine research Marie-Paule Kieny said that the vaccines will be delivered as donation to cover basically the needs of the health personnel and keep them from propagating the virus. “A hundred of developed countries will receive vaccines against swine flu in the next four months to cover two per cent of the population involved in public health services”, explained the official.

In the second stage, WHO expects to cover 10 per cent of the citizenship of those nations.

Kieny underlined that a dose of the swine flu H1N1 vaccine should offer enough protection against the strain of the pandemic disease.
