GENEVA (AFP) – The World Health Organisation said Thursday that scientists will need more time to decide whether to start mass production of vaccines against the swine flu virus.
Acting assistant director-general Keiji Fukuda told journalists there have been "no big decisions" from a meeting of experts on Thursday on an A(H1N1) vaccine.
He added that more meetings were needed to examine the technical process for manufacturers to ready themselves to go into mass production which will "require several weeks."
"It's not possible to say that there will be a decision by this date, really it's a painstaking and difficult process," said Fukuda.
