H5N1 Low pathogenicity H5N3 strain MF59 (A/duck/Singapore/F1 19-3/97) subunit vaccine with or without adjuvant. AVEG researchers hope to avoid past failures with subunit vaccines by combining them with another vaccine--for the canary pox virus, which is safe in humans. The blended strategy behind the recombinant vaccinia approach is to choose an immunity-creating component of a disease organism, as in the subunit vaccine approach. |
