Public health measures may even delay the peak of the epidemic curve of a pandemic until nearer the time a pandemic vaccine starts to become available, thereby possibly also reducing the total numbers affected. In addition, theoretically, they may delay the peak until influenza transmission declines naturally in the summer months. 5, record 1, English, - peak%20of%20the%20epidemic%20curve

In a pandemic situation, speed in vaccine development, authorisation and distribution will be crucial.... A core pandemic dossier is submitted and approved during the inter-pandemic period, the period between two pandemics. This dossier should enable all parameters which do not specifically depend on the pandemic, such as production processes and testing strategies, to be validated prior to the pandemic situation. A "mock-up" vaccine, ideally having the same characteristics as the intended pandemic vaccine, is to be tested in this context. This "mock-up" vaccine would not be marketed until a pandemic situation occurs in the Community and a variation application containing all relevant information on the specific pandemic strain is filed. 2, record 3, English, - core%20pandemic%20dossier

En cas de pandémie, il sera crucial de parvenir à développer, autoriser et distribuer rapidement les vaccins. [...] Un dossier pandémique principal est soumis et approuvé durant la période interpandémique, soit entre deux pandémies. Il devrait permettre de valider, avant que ne survienne la pandémie, tous les paramètres ne dépendant pas directement de celle-ci, tels que les procédures de production et les stratégies de test. Dans ce cadre, une «maquette» de vaccin, possédant idéalement les mêmes caractéristiques que le vaccin prévu dans la perspective de la pandémie, doit être testée. Ce vaccin ne serait pas mis sur le marché tant qu'une pandémie ne serait pas observée dans la Communauté et qu'une demande de modification contenant toutes les informations pertinentes sur la souche spécifiquement concernée dans la pandémie n'aurait pas été remplie. 1, record 3, French, - dossier%20pand%C3%A9mique%20principal

El expediente pandémico básico se presenta y aprueba durante el periodo interpandémico, es decir, el periodo entre dos pandemias. Este expediente ha de servir para validar, antes de que se produzca una pandemia, todos los parámetros que no dependen específicamente de ella, como son los procesos de producción y las estrategias de ensayo. En este contexto debe someterse a ensayo una vacuna "tamaño natural" que, idealmente, tenga las mismas características que la vacuna pandémica prevista. Esta vacuna "tamaño natural" no se comercializaría hasta que no se produjera una situación de pandemia en la Comunidad y no se hubiera depositado una solicitud de modificación que contuviera toda la información relevante sobre la cepa pandémica de que se tratara. 1, record 3, Spanish, - expediente%20pand%C3%A9mico%20b%C3%A1sico

Knowing which vaccine to stockpile before the outbreak of a pandemic is a major problem, because you don’t know which virus will cause the pandemic. It takes months to make enough vaccine for all potential victims, and flu vaccines only last about 12 months in storage.... There are also some technical problems with making a H5N1 vaccine. H5N1 kills chickens, so the usual way of making a vaccine that relies on chicken eggs doesn’t work very well. An alternative genetically engineered virus may need to be used to produce enough vaccine in a short period of time. 1, record 4, English, - genetically%20engineered%20virus

La protection était atteinte malgré des différences antigéniques entre la souche du vaccin et le virus ciblé.
