Except form article out today. This is old news but remember that of this $731 million earmarked for antivirals Relenza will have a much larger component than it previous was allocated.
And PS for the newbees out there. A vaccine is not a anti viral. And because we find a vaccine for something ( We hope ) doesn't lessen the need for anti virals like relenza that bind to different virus shapes to minimise shredding ( this shredding makes you crook )
''According to reports, currently, the US Congress has allocated a $3.3-billion budget to combat avian flu. More than half the US bird flu budget of $1.781 billion, will be earmarked for developing new vaccines, while $731 million would be spent on drugs such as Roche's and Gilead Sciences' Tamiflu and GlaxoSmithKline's Relenza.
