    LONDON - When World Health Organization officials ask vaccine manufacturers to start producing vaccine to fight swine flu in a few weeks, they will be taking a calculated risk.Flu vaccine companies can only make one vaccine at a time: :shocked: seasonal flu vaccine or pandemic vaccine. Production takes months and it is impossible to switch halfway through :baffled::shocked:if health officials make a mistake.

    While some countries like the United States may be better prepared than others — American officials say production for next year's vaccine batch is so advanced they're nearly finished — the situation for many other countries is unknown.

    WASHINGTON - The Pentagon said Wednesday a Marine based in Southern California has been confirmed to be ill with swine flu and is under quarantine, along with about 30 other Marines. :shocked::baffled:
    A Marine spokesman at the Pentagon, Maj. David Nevers, said the sick Marine was doing well and his condition continued to improve. Nevers said approximately 30 other Marines who had been in contact with the sick Marine at the Twentynine Palms base will be held in quarantine for five days as well as to see whether they show symptoms.
    Officials earlier had said 37 Marines who had come into contact with the sick Marine were being restricted from going to the mess hall and troop formations. It wasn't immediately possible to reconcile the conflicting numbers.
