Or, the US will allow it along with a long list of ‘possible side-effects’ and disclaimers like they do with other drugs.

The Swiss company’s vaccine also includes adjuvants which are chemical components used to stretch a vaccine's active ingredient. While adjuvants are commonly used in European flu vaccines, there are no licensed flu vaccines in the US or Canada with these  added ingredients. The Chinese vaccine was said not to use an adjuvant either. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.examiner.com/x-9303-Miami-Health-Care-Examiner~y2009m9d4-China-has-swine-flu-vaccine-first"> given the history of exporting tainted healthcare products such as heparin and cough syrup, it is unclear whether the US would ever use a Chinese made vaccine. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4AC5D6C4-18A6-4A56-AE23-0BFAE7A02F72/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
