New decision model seeks to avert flu vaccine mismatch of 2007-2008 season
To avoid producing vaccines that treat the wrong strains during flu season, the FDA should consider deferring some of its selections as well as other changes to the vaccine composition, according to a study by two decision analysts published in a journal of the Institute for Operations Research an...Gene Screen May Predict Colon Cancer's Return
