Our program here is to develop a range of candidate vaccines for use in humans against the entire set of avian influenza subtypes. |
The purpose of this research is to learn how to do this, learn some basic principles of whether it can be done, whether it can be done safely, and whether it's likely to be an effective product. |
We know much more today than we did in 1997 when the first case appeared. That there are candidate vaccines in development, some are in clinical trial already, so I think it's important not to panic. |
