Summary
Limited distribution report on pandemic vaccines was prepared for the WHO in early 2009, shortly before the emergence of swine flu. It details tough problems that most of the world’s governments face in acquiring adequate supplies of pandemic flu vaccines, as well as the problems caused by the patent claims of huge corporations.
Possibly because of the frank presentation and potential controversy, the WHO designated the paper “Limited Distribution”, meaning it has only been available to select government officials in paper form. This scanned version makes the paper available electronically and to the general public for the first time.
This is an intergovernmental organization document with no “primary country” of origin. India has been selected as the WHO Regional Office that published the paper is based there.
