Time.com People Fortune EW FDA panel: Nasal flu vaccine not safe WASHINGTON (CNN) An advisory committee to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration voted Friday that a new nasal flu vaccine spray was effective, but not safe for most people. The committee's findings were based on data from more than 24,000 people from ages one to 64 years. The panel voted 10-4 against the overall safety of FluMist, made by Aviron Pharmaceuticals of Mountain View, California. The company intended the product as an alternative to the standard flu vaccine shot. Unlike the injection, it is made from weakened live flu virus, rather than killed virus. Earlier on Friday, the panel voted 13-2 in favor of the effectiveness of the spray for the adult population, ages 18 to 64 years. However, the panel only narrowly found the nasal vaccination to be effective for the pediatric and adolescent population by a vote of 8-7. The panel did not vote on whether it would or would not recommend the vaccine to the FDA, citing the need for more research data. It is not clear when the FDA will decide whether or not it will approve the drug.

Members of the Anti-Viral Drugs Advisory Committee said they were not concerned about the safety of the drug, but were concerned the drug was not effective enough. The largest study on zanamivir was done in the United States. Results showed that people who took the drug felt better in five days, compared to six days for people who took the placebo. European and Australian studies showed the drug brought relief one and a half to two and a half days earlier than the placebo drug. The drug appeared to help alleviate symptoms such as fever, cough, muscle aches and fatigue.

The chickens were slaughtered on a farm in southern Kent County, Delaware, at 11:30 a.m. after two birds tested positive for the virulent H7 virus Friday, Delaware agriculture secretary Michael Scuse said. The virus is different from the H5N1 virus in Asia, Scuse said. That strain has forced the slaughter of millions of birds there and killed 18 people in Thailand and Vietnam who had come into direct contact with them. "The virus that is in Asia is a mutation of H5," Scuse said. He said the H7 strain found in Delaware is fatal to poultry but does not transmit to humans.

Another 300 soldiers were called to duty Monday. Authorities on Monday also confirmed new infections at farms as far as 230 kilometers (143 miles) from the site in central South Korea where the disease was first detected, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry said in a statement. The new cases occurred in the southern towns of Gyeongju and Naju, where 1,230 birds died at two farms after being infected with the H5N1 virus. Out of 17 farms with reported cases of bird flu, nine have so far been confirmed and two have tested negative. Authorities were still investigating six others.
