conducted a randomized phase II study comparing the safety and immunogenicity of an adjuvanted split-virion and a whole-virion H5N1 vaccine in 280 children aged 12-17 years (Wu et al., 2010) who received 10, 15 or 30 μg of a split-virion or 5 μg of a whole-virion clade 1 H5N1 vaccine (NIBRG-14); both were formulated with alum.

Reading between the lines, it seems that it is the T cell stimulation which is unique to Oxford’s trial that has got scientists and the British government so excited.Assuming — and this is still a big if — the larger scale Oxford trial currently taking place in South Africa and Brazil shows initial efficacy (prevention of infection) and the vaccine does go into mass production and distribution in the fall this is still not quite the end of the story. Avian flu experts meeting in Paris have been told that a viable vaccine against the human form of the disease could take 10 years to develop. Finding a vaccine for red mite. �����6��
