ROCKVILLE, Md., March 3 (UPI) -- U.S. regulators hailed Britain's decision Thursday to lift the suspension of Chiron Inc.'s license to make flu vaccine.
Dr. Jesse Goodman of the Food and Drug Administration said the action by the British Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency was "an extremely important milestone."
At the same time the FDA will continue monitoring the British company's progress, Goodman said.
"When all critical stages of manufacturing are in full swing, and needed corrective actions can be fully evaluated, FDA plans to conduct a comprehensive inspection of Chiron's Liverpool facility to assure that Chiron can produce a safe and effective vaccine," Goodman said.
This winter's U.S. flu vaccine shortage occurred when 46 million doses expected from Chiron were canceled after its plant in England was shut down because of contamination.
