Why there are no specific vaccines for swine flu?
There are no specific vaccines available presently to prevent the occurrence of swin flu. Although vaccinations are available to prevent the occurrence of seasonal influenza, these are not effective against the novel H1N1 influenza virus. Efforts are on to develop a new vaccine within the next few months. However the steps involved in the production of the vaccine and amount of time required for mass production may hinder the effective supply of these vaccines all over the world.
