Who invented the Swine Flu vaccine?
For the 2012-2013 Flu Season in the Northern Hemisphere:The vaccine for the H1N1/09 virus is included in the seasonal flu vaccine as one of the three virus types expected this flu season, so a separate vaccination is no longer needed.For the 2010-2011 and 2011 - 2012 Flu Seasons in the Northern Hemisphere:The vaccine was available just like in the prior flu seasons for the "regular" flu vaccine. There was no separate distribution system this time. The vaccine for the H1N1/09 virus is included in the seasonal flu vaccine, so no separate vaccination was needed these years.For the 2009 H1N1/09 pandemic and 2009-2010 Flu Season:In the US now that the vaccine is being distributed, the supplies are going to the state health departments and from there, they are distributing to the communities and organizations in their states for local vaccination programs and individual providers to administer the vaccines.Development of the vaccines was an international effort with government public health organizations working together with each other and with drug manufacturers along with the World Health Organization (WHO) for creation and recommendations for use of the different types of vaccines. The WHO and CDC were prominent in selecting and isolating the strain that would be most effective to grow and to use to create the vaccines.In the US, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Health and Human Services (HHS) and even the Homeland Security organizations are involved in plans for manufacture, testing, approval, and administration programs. The CDC's committee making the recommendations is called The CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).In the UK, it is the NHS who is primarily advising the governments in the UK. The WHO, CDC, NHS, and health ministries of other individual countries are making recommendations on immunization program planning and preparation, and then it will be up to the governments to determine the best use for their citizens of the vaccines as they become available. They will be available after testing by the manufacturers and by the government agencies, and when subsequently approved and released for distribution and use in the planned immunization programs.In the US, the program will be entirely voluntary, leaving the choice to take the vaccine with each individual and parents. Some states and employers have mandated health care workers take vaccines for the A-H1N1/09 to continue to work with the ill patients in their care.See also the related question, "Which cities states or countries have deaths or cases of swine flu?" in the related question section below for more information and regular updates on the vaccines, manufacture, and immunization approval processes.
