Is the swine flu vaccine a surefire way of totally avoiding the swine flu virus? Millions of people the world over may think so based on the overwhelming demand for a vaccine that will put an end to the menacing swine flu virus.
The swine flu shows almost the same symptoms as that of the ordinary flu but it is not the same as the ordinary human flu virus.
While the multi-million pharmaceutical companies develop the swine flu vaccine in their laboratories, those selling flu medications and flu shots are however starting to reap the profits resulting from an increased demand for these medications.
The sales figures for the seasonal flu shots have gone up to over $ 1 billion while those for the swine flu shots have breached the $1.5 billion mark. It is a booming vaccine market out there, as confirmed by market research firm Kalorama spokesperson Bruce Carlson.
This comes a result of people already in a panic as to how to prevent the infestation of swine flu virus in their communities. Most governments are willing to pay the price for swine flu vaccines and medications that will give their citizenry peace of mind.
While most industries the world over are not experiencing such a robust growth, Carlson said it is a different story for the pharmaceutical industry which is experiencing an enormous growth.
The US government has ordered 250 million swine flu vaccines which will be distributed for free to the priority sectors including schools, pharmacies and doctors. Research for medications to fight the swine flu virus is also underway, with over $10 billion allocated by Congress last year.
Knox County, which received $237,000 in terms of supplies and personnel who will oversee the vaccination program, started vaccinating their citizens as of October last year. Among those prioritized for the vaccine are pregnant women, medical personnel and specific age groups of people and those in special circumstances.
Other cities in the US have also started with their vaccination programs to fight the swine flu virus. The rest of the world is also trying their best to get their share of the swine flu virus vaccine before another wave of the swine flu virus sweeps the world.
The world may be experiencing a lull in the reported cases of swine flu virus victims but most governments are not sitting down and are demanding for vaccines to protect their citizens before they are once again caught in n unexpected pandemic.
National Vaccine Program Office director Bruce Gellin said the best defense to a pandemic is really a vaccine that will protect people from the swine flu virus.
