French claim new
flu-fighting serum
PARIS (Reuters) - A French medical research team claim-
ed yesterday it has discovered a vaccine against influenza
which will be effective against all strains of the disease.
Production of the revolutionary vaccine already has started
and- it will be available in France shortly, researchers at the
Pasteur Institute said.
If claims made for the vaccine prove true, it could mean
a cure for one of the world's most common ailments which strik-
es down hundreds of millions of people every year.
Dr. Claude Hannoun, who heads the Pasteur research team,
told reporters that the new vaccine differs from all others in that
It anticipates future strains of influenza.
"It is effective not only against current strains but against
those that will break out over the next few years," he explained.
The Pasteur vaccine thus goes far beyond those vaccines
which have been used to fight one certain strain, such as Asian
flu or Hong Kong flu, but which have been immediately out-
moded by new viruses breaking out the following year.
The vaccine, which is soon to go on the market, should
neutralize influenza epidemics at least until 1978, according to
Dr. Hannoun.
The Pasteur Institute said tests with the new vaccine have
been highly successful.
