At last, there is some hope for the treatment of bird flu. A Vietnamese laboratory claims that it has managed to produce a bird flu vaccine for humans that needs to be validated by the Ministry of Health before a possible test.
Scientists at the Nha Trang Institute of Vaccines and Biological Products, in Vietnam have produced 5,000 doses of the vaccine against the deadly H5N1 virus. The H5N1 virus is now considered endemic in Vietnam and it is the worst hit by the disease after Indonesia.
Scientists have tested the vaccine successfully on mice and roosters. The vaccine has already been sent to a laboratory of the Ministry of Health and they are waiting for its answer.
If the ministry approves, authorities may allow scientists to try the vaccine on humans. So we will have to wait for some more time till this new vaccine finds its way to the stores.
