Discusses how the process of making the flu vaccine is prone to production problems and manufacturing delays which is part of the reason for major shortages in the United States. How only two companies, Chiron and Aventis, were licensed in 2004 to produce the vaccine for the U.S. market; Problems which resulted when Chiron withdrew 48 million doses of vaccine in early October because of contamination problems; Impact of the vaccine shortage on the political campaigns of incumbent president George W. Bush and candidate John Kerry; Criticism from Kerry that Bush ignored warnings that the situation was worsening to a crisis; Lack of an adequate response from Congress and the Centers for Disease Control. |
