Swine Flu Genetics Suggest a Vaccine Is Possible

Posted by timothy on from the shhh-no-one's-calling-it-that-any-more dept.

Kristina at Science News writes "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced findings May 1 from genetic studies of swine flu virus from six different countries. A strong similarity from country to country suggests all the infections are from one strain, making a vaccine a strong possibility. It will be several months at least before such a vaccine would be developed, though."
