It is primarily about money not just for Big Pharma but also for the FDA and CDC, both powerful players in the vaccine economy. Of course the front for public consumption and purposes of political correctness is about preventing or minimizing&nbsp;the disease, its complications and associated deaths. </p> <p>The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today that it has approved this year's seasonal influenza (flu) vaccines that include the new strains of virus judged likely to cause flu in the Northern Hemisphere in 2006-2007.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>&quot;These approvals signal our commitment to doing all we can to help ensure the timely availability of seasonal flu vaccine for the American public,&quot; said Jesse L. Goodman, MD, MPH, director of FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.&nbsp; &quot;We will continue to work closely with the manufacturers so they can deliver vaccine in time for the start of vaccinations, which begin in the fall.&quot; </p> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 00:45:58 -0500
