Hello GP-UK, Unless I misheard, a Sky News correspondent was this afternoon describing Tamiflu as a *vaccine*! :-( He had apparently been to some Government briefing (I missed the intro). The 'new' news was HMG intended to procure enough vaccine to treat the *whole* population, the fly in the ointment being that a future avian flu pandemic may not the current strain so there isn't a vaccine to procure at the moment (nor one for H5N1 yet). HMG are putting out some form of test tender for a vaccine (which I believe they already announced a while ago). However, the correspondent stated that we had Tamiflu vaccine for the current strain, H5N1!! I am willing to be corrected but I am sure that's what he said, twice. Anyone in doubt as to what Tamiflu really *is* see: http://www.tamiflu.com/ Chris -- Chris Salter mailto:[log in to unmask] Lincolnshire Post-Polio Network http://www.lincolnshirepostpolio.org.uk/ Polio and Post-Polio News http://mt.lincolnshirepostpolio.org.uk/pandppnews/
