France tries to get rid off its swine flu vaccines!!! What happened to the "pandemic?"

France has joined other European countries in selling off millions of its emergency swine flu vaccines after buying far more than needed to fight the outbreak.

"We started with a plan for two-dose vaccinations but since one dose is sufficient we can start to resell part of the stock," a French health ministry official told AFP on Sunday.

Like some other European countries, France has witnessed less demand than expected after spending 869 million euros ($A1.4 billion) on vaccines for the A(H1N1) virus.

France bought 94 million doses - almost one-and-a-half for every member of the population - but so far only about five million people are recorded as having been vaccinated since the program launched in October. More...
