New bird flu vaccine could last longer and protect more

CHICAGO -- A new bird flu vaccine being developed by U.S. researchers could provide broader protection, last longer and be easier to mass produce than existing vaccines.

The vaccine protected mice from bird flu infection for more than a year and researchers are hopeful that similar results could be found in humans.

It is also broad enough to protect against some mutations of the virus, according to a study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases.
