Aventis Pasteur, the human vaccines business of Aventis, is on schedule to achieving the company's goal of providing Fluzone vaccine to all its customers in time for the orderly immunization of consumers. These doses represent the largest shipment of influenza vaccine by any manufacturer for this influenza season.

The company estimates it will produce more than 52 million doses of Fluzone vaccine for the 2004-05 influenza season.
The 2004-05 influenza vaccine formulation contains the A/Fujian/411/2002 (H3N2)-like, A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1)-like and B/Shanghai/361/2002-like strains. The three strains for the new influenza vaccine formulation were confirmed by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration ...
