By formulating a single vaccine with some or all of the key sub-types, protection may be achieved against seasonal as well as pandemic strains such as swine flu or pandemic-potential strains such as avian influenza.

[Health News] Human, bird flu virus interaction can create more virulent strains: WASHINGTON - A cocktail of three drugs, already on the market, offers the best hope in developing a single agent to treat drug-resistant H1N1 swine flu, say researchers. Mark Prichard, a virology researcher in the University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, says that in laboratory testing, the triple combination of oseltamivir (Tamiflu), amantadine (Symmetrel) and ribavirin showed a significant capacity to stop flu-virus growth.
