Abstrakt: In response to the pandemic warning provided by the highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza virus infections in Hong Kong, there were world-wide attempts to develop vaccines. Three strategies were followed and although each was associated with some success, there were also some problems. Pre-clinical vaccine efficacy results are presented from one such strategy, that of using an apathogenic H5N3 avian strain for vaccine production.
