Unlicensed pandemic influenza A H1N1 vaccines
Arthur L Caplan

Preview
When WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on immunisation met on July 7, 2009, they recognised that pandemic influenza A H1N1 vaccines, when they become available, are almost entirely committed under contract to a small number of industrialised countries.1 SAGE commended WHO for trying to improve real-time access in poor countries, but these efforts will not have substantial effects in the short term.
