For example, returning to the United States could provide you with greater access to antiviral medications, respirators, face masks, and pandemic vaccine.

"Vaccination with a pandemic strain-specific vaccine is likely to be the most important strategy for preventing morbidity and mortality from pandemic influenza," the plan said.

Only those who are over 65, have other illnesses such as severe asthma or heart disease or are pregnant will be able to have the pandemic vaccine.

The 2009/10 pandemic proved less severe than feared and substantial stockpiles of pandemic vaccine went unused.

Money is needed to conduct clinical trials to test the effectiveness of various formulations of pandemic vaccines.

In the 1968 pandemic vaccine became available one month after the outbreaks peaked in the US.

The first doses of a new pandemic vaccine become available in September.

We are making progress on the question of creating a pandemic vaccine.

But as long as we do not have the pandemic virus, we will not have the pandemic vaccine which would be the basic defence.

In the same way, we are opposed to the setting up of a common emergency supply of pandemic vaccines in the Community.
