2004-2005 Influenza Vaccine Production Update
About 100 million doses of influenza vaccine will be available this year in the United States. Chiron has reported a delay in their vaccine delivery schedule. They expect to distribute about 46-48 million total Fluvirin® doses this year plus 2 million doses to CDC stockpile. While vaccine will begin to be shipped in October, Chiron has stated that there will be no prioritization of shipments to distributors once vaccine is released for shipment. Aventis Pasteur has already shipped some vaccine, reports no delays in vaccine delivery, and expects to deliver about 20 million doses in September and the remaining 32 million doses in October. MedImmune expects to deliver all of its approximate 1.5 million doses of preservative-free intranasal influenza vaccine (FluMistTM ) in October.
