...first inoculation could be ready for public use. That's because flu-vaccine production - whether for swine or seasonal flu - is time-consuming and laborious, requiring vaccine makers to grow millions of copies of the flu virus in chicken eggs, then purify those bugs into a ready-to-inject formula safe for patients. "We are moving things around to accommodate this and getting our raw materials ready and having our scientists ready. We are on alert, waiting on the CDC. We're in daily contact with them," says Donna Cary, spokeswoman for Sanofi Pasteur, which currently makes 50 million doses...
