Why are scientists using eggs to develop the swine flu vaccine?
To make vaccine for a program of vaccinations in a population group, first the scientists need a certain amount of the virus that can be turned into the weakened version of the virus to use in the vaccination. Since viruses are not really alive, and since they need a host to provide cells to do the work of their reproduction for them, the scientists give them the egg as the host and, just like the virus makes our bodies do when we catch a cold or flu, it will make the egg cells do the same thing to make more virus particles so the scientists can grow a supply from which to make the vaccine.For a full explanation of this process, see the related link section below.
