New Swine Flu Vaccine Tested In Austin

The vaccine has already been approved for use in Europe and it's manufacturer is seeking FDA approval in this country.

Despite the roughly 5 H1N1 vaccines currently on the market, there's still a shortage of vaccines, so the government is hoping that another FDA approved vaccine will help increase availability -- and it's also a fail-safe, providing an alternative, in case any of the other vaccines turn out to have negative side affects.

Dr. Lawrence Chu is examining Monique Limon. She is taking part in the year long study by Benchmark research to test a new Swine Flu vaccine. Limon says it's worth it because she assured of getting a Swine Flu vaccine and doesn't have to worry about a shortage.
