Flu strains are grown in fertile hen's eggs, producing a concentrate from which a vaccine can be developed. This incubation process has speeded the battle against the disease, a disease that has struck in 30 countries this year. In England, where the flu experiments are going on, flu took its heaviest toll." | |
