Last Sunday, CBS’ 60 Minutes gave us a peek into the United States’ only H1N1 flu vaccine production facility in Swiftwater, Pennsylvania – allowing the public to see for the first time where and how the vaccine is made. The video sheds light on why there have been such long lines in areas around the country in which the demand for H1N1 vaccine outpaces the supply. The complex and rigorous manufacturing process, testing and quality control should instill some confidence in people, and will hopefully help them understand why these vaccines take so long to produce.
