Historic day today with the UK regulatory agency suspending the license
of Chiron to ship out their influenza vaccine to the USA because of issues related to the
inspection of the plant in Liverpool. This is a huge issue for the USA since Chiron was
scheduled to supply about 46-48 million doses or about 50% of our yearly requirement of
100 million doses. Only Aventis Pasteur (50 millioin doses) and Medimmune (2 million
doses of Flumist) are available. We heard about this abruptly this AM as we (Julie
gerberding and I) were getting ready to testify at House Hearing on Thimerasol in
Influenza vaccines.
