I have read and researched about the possibility of the vaccine. From my last research, apparently, the vaccine that we have now is not sufficient to protect everyone should an epidemic occurs. It is because the last vaccine was only proven effective for about 40% of the people tested on and for it to be effective, apparently a very high dose was required. I am not sure how they are progressing now. There are a couple of articles published on Pubmed if you are interested on the trials of the vaccine. I think that they are now still testing of ways to improve the vaccine because we simply don't have enough supply to protect the whole population. This is due to the massive amount needed for the vaccine for a person and that developing one takes time. I just hope that somehow this can be perfected in some way as I am not quite fond of the idea of an avian flu epidemic. Hi there, thanks for your comment on my avian flu article.
