I may be wrong here , if so , my apologies.If you look at the vaccine industry over the years , you would see that , say , back in the'50s'there were vaccines for all kinds of diseases.Now even the flu vaccines each year are always in short supply.Why is this?In my years in the pharmacy profession from '72-'93 vaccines and availability were continually diminishing.
The inside information at the time I believe holds true today.
Vaccines never really were money makers for the companies involved.They were always considered as "loss leaders".
Also , because of the growing lawsuit mentality, it was becomming too risky to market a product that would lose money and then get sued on top of it.
In the case of flu vaccines being in short supply each year it is because most companies don't want to make them.
Roche and others may R&D them and if effective also go for a PRV with the FDA.But manufacture and distribute them? I doubt it.
They will probably license someone else with brass kahunas to market them and deal with any "fallout".And with that prior history , "GOOD LUCK"!They will have to have very,very deep pockets.
