Efficiency of the RE5 vaccine is in question

More worryingly, the experimental results of the Veterinary Department of the validity of the H5N1 vaccine-Re5 shows the effect of protection against new virus is very low branches, almost no effect. http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=167258

Hoang Van Nam, Director of Animal Health, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said: "The virus that causes before 2.3.4 Vietnam's branch in the north and a south branch. But now switch to branch 2.3.2 2.3.4 branch. Therefore, the H5N1 vaccine strain used in 2010 is inconsistent with Re5 strains 2.3.2 and only in accordance with a southern branch. From that information combined with the unique lab test on the strength of the vaccine effect is no longer used in accordance with the North Central race, so the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development was given the 1st stop. "

It is known that at present China is also working on a new vaccine called Re6 but this vaccine is in the process of China's test. 2.3.2 Virus is circulating branches in China and North Central Vietnam. http://www.baotuyenquang.com.vn/Page2.asp?lang=V&func=newsdetail&newsid=35215&CatID=133&MN=133
