    The FDA approves another flu vaccine

    <!-- BODY BEGIN -->WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Afluria, an additional seasonal influenza vaccine for people ages 18 and older.
    The FDA said Afluria -- intended to protect adults from influenza type A and type B flu viruses -- brings the number of seasonal influenza manufacturers licensed in the U.S. market to six. They are expected to supply a record 132 million doses of influenza vaccine for the 2007-08 influenza season.
    Afluria contains inactivated influenza viruses grown in chicken eggs, the FDA said. People allergic to eggs shouldn't receive Afluria.

When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for it then costs nothing to be a patriot."- Mark TwainReason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it. -Thomas Paine
