Researchers say vaccine may protect against bird flu variants

Scientists at St Jude Children's Research Hospital say that a vaccine they developed a few years ago against one variant of the bird flu virus H5N1 may protect humans against future variants of the virus.

A prepublication report on the study appears in the online issue of Journal of Infectious Diseases.
