among bird certainly chances chickens containing developed developing eliminate good identify nations prevent rapidly sick spread
It isn't an absolute, but you certainly can say that the chances of containing spread among bird flocks in developed nations that have good agricultural capabilities and controls, to identify rapidly and cull and eliminate the sick chickens to prevent spread . . . is much better than in some other developing nations.
developing great mean vaccine
Developing a vaccine doesn't mean we will stockpile it to a great extent.
aiming capacity develop doses latest months six ultimately vaccine version within
We're aiming at 20-million doses of a pre-pandemic vaccine but to develop the capacity to be able to make 300-million doses within six months of when we ultimately get the latest version of it that is the real killer.
burn capability efficient entirely epidemic hopefully human inherently itself programmed virus
It is entirely conceivable that this virus is inherently programmed that it will never be able to go efficiently from human to human. Hopefully the epidemic (in birds) will burn itself out, which epidemics do, before the virus evolves the capability of being more efficient in going from human to human.
earlier failed healthy hoped immunity increases next percent rate response shot shown step studies third
With seasonal flu, the response rate in healthy young adults ranges from 60 to 90 percent. We all hoped for 70 percent with this vaccine, but it wasn't to be. The next step is to give a booster to those who failed to respond, which we're already doing. Earlier studies have shown a third shot often increases immunity dramatically.

active anybody beneficial change coming concerned effect grandpa home policy preventing society spread tv watching
At the end of the day, you have a broader, more favorable, beneficial effect on society by preventing the spread by vaccinating the spreaders ? not the grandpa who sits at home watching TV and doesn't go out and spread it to anybody but is concerned about it coming into the house. There has not been a policy change in that, but it is under very active discussion.
build capacity good respond
As we build up our capacity to respond to seasonal influenza, it will put us in good stead.
