U.S. Gets a New Flu Vaccine: The vaccine, called FluCelVax, is made using dog cells cultured in the lab. The plant will use technology that allows it to respond to an emerging health threat like a pandemic in weeks, not months, said Elizabeth Power, a spokeswoman for Novartis. Health officials have been looking to expand capacity to make flu vaccines quickly. Much of the U.S. flu vaccine supply is made in other countries, and that gives the FDA less control over quality and supply.
Ok guys, I have no problem with vaccines but the dog cell thing reminds me of the movie I Am Legend! So who tested this stuff? All you medical guys out there do you know about this? |
