A homegrown vaccine for humans against the H5N1 influenza virus, commonly known as bird flu, was yesterday approved by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA).
Worldwide, only the United States and the European Union have approved human vaccines against bird flu.
The SFDA approval follows two rounds of clinical tests involving 500 volunteers from 2005 to 2007.
