CHINA &USA ARE SHORTLY BRINGING OUT VACCINE AGAINST SWINE FLU,BASED ON 'ROBUST' SUCCESSFUL REPORT AFTER THEIR BTITISH &AUSTRALIAN TRIALS.THE ICMR CHIEF IS VERY CAUTITIOUS ABOUT NOT TO BRING THAT VACCINE TO INDIA,AS HE IS OF OPENION THAT THE VACCINE SHOULD BE MANUFATURED FROM THE VIRUS THAT IS CIRCULATING AMONG INDIAN POPULATION ALONE SHOULD BE CULTURED &USED FOR VACCINE MANUFACTURE.THOUGH THE SIDE EFFECTS LIKELY TO BE THE LEAST ANY THING CAN HAPPEN IN MEDICINE&WE SHOULD OBSERVE VERY CAREFULLY WITH MASTERLY EXPECTANCY ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE REST OF THE WORLD,WHEN A NEW DRUG IS INTRODUSED .PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD BE GIVEN FIRST PRIORITY FOR VACCINATION ACCORDING TO AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS.WE SHOULD BE DOUBLY CAREFUL BEFORE SUCH VENTURE AS WE DONT WANT TO SEE ANOTHER THALIDOMIDE -LIKE-TRAGEDY,TO OCCUR IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD.EVEN IF DECIDED TO VACCINATE PREGNANT WOMEN LET US NOT TRY DURING THE FIRST TRIMESTER.THE VIRUS ITSELF CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO DEVELOPING EMBRIYO.BUT THE VACCINE CAUSING SUCH DAMAGE IS UNACCEPTABLE.
