Few Days Left for State to Get FDA Approval to Import Flu Shots (Source: ABC 7 Chicago)
From the article:
The state’s prescription drug advocate said today the market for flu vaccine in Illinois will dry up if federal regulators do not soon approve the state’s request to buy shots from Europe.
He says it takes ten days to two weeks for the flu shot to be effective. If the Food and Drug Administration doesn’t give the state an answer soon, it will have to decide if it wants to still pursue approval or resell the vaccine.
