POGO: Government Pandemic Flu Vaccine Program Lacks Leadership

Project on Government Oversight, Pandemic Flu: Lack of Leadership and Disclosure Plague Vaccine Program, March 6, 2008.

  • Summary: “The U.S. is in a race to prepare for the mass production of a vaccine before the next influenza pandemic strikes. In a pandemic, there could be deaths in the hundreds of thousands in the U.S. and in the tens of millions worldwide. A vaccine will limit the harm caused by the influenza virus when it appears and spreads. Yet the current government plan for production of the vaccine for pandemic flu does not reflect the urgency of the problem nor the critical leadership it deserves. In addition, a lack of sufficient disclosure has beset the program to date.”
