"Scientists Concerned Over Egg-Based Bird Flu Vaccine"
Scientists are concerned about the reliance on egg-based technology for producing bird flu vaccines, which is seen as outdated and inefficient for a potential 21st-century pandemic. Despite investments in alternative methods like cell-based and mRNA vaccines, the industry remains heavily dependent on egg-based production due to existing infrastructure and financial considerations. The current stockpiled vaccines are only partially effective, and there is an urgent need for more advanced and scalable solutions to combat potential flu pandemics.
