WHO released “Recommendations of the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Influenza A (H1N1) vaccines, 19 May 2009. Below is full text of a portion of the document”
“After considering the following issues:
1. the need for any recommendation to balance both risks and benefits,
2. the current uncertainty about the severity of influenza A (H1N1) illness,
3. the readiness of vaccine seed strains and reagents for large‐scale vaccine production,
4. the current status of production of seasonal vaccine for the Northern hemisphere, and the risks associated with a premature cessation of seasonal vaccine production, The Working Group considered it premature to recommend that commercial‐scale production of influenza A (H1N1) vaccine should start immediately.
