Press Release
Body = MONROVIA, CA - The Centers for Disease Control estimates
that 36,000 Americans die each from complications of the flu. Yet
this is a fraction compared to the millions of fatalities worldwide
that could result from a Pandemic Influenza outbreak. The looming
question after last year’s unexpected flu vaccine shortage
is whether or not the United Stated Government is prepared to face
this
threat. On November 3, representatives from the U.S. Food &
Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control will be
discussing this issue at the 3rd Annual Conference on Vaccines.
The conference is presented by GTCbio and will take place at the
Sheraton Pentagon South in Arlington, Virginia on November 3-4,
2005. During the course of this 2 day event, over 25 presenters
from industry, academic and government will discuss public acceptance,
funding opportunities, as well as the increasing need for vaccines
and
how they are affecting society in this nation and around the world.
Norman Baylor, Director of the FDA’s Office of Vaccines Research
and Review, will present a talk on the “FDA's Approach to
Meeting the Challenge of Pandemic Influenza Preparedness”.
Dr. Baylor’s presentation will discuss accelerated pathways
and new technologies that could increase vaccine manufacturing and
capacity.
Susan Gorman of the Centers for Disease Control will discuss Vaccines
and the Strategic National Stockpile. Her talk will provide insight
on how Government and Industry have been working together to address
current public health issues and future threats.
