Flu vaccene will be short again this year. Chiron is the main manufacturer and they made another bad batch---

Chiron Corp., which last flu season halted its output of flu vaccine for the U.S. market because of quality-control problems, said Friday it will cut supply of vaccine in Europe after it discovered tainted batches at its plant in Germany.

The Marburg, Germany plant makes Begrivac, a flu vaccine Chiron sells in Germany and England. The company reduced its expected output of Begrivac for the upcoming flu season to 4 million doses from 12 million. Chiron does not expect to sell any Begrivac in the third quarter and said it is working with German regulators to discover the extent of the contamination.

We owe this state of things to the trial lawyers who have American companies afraid to make it. 8 million doses short is a lot of doses to be short this close to flu season. LINK HERE for entire article.
