Of course in Bolehland, there's nothing like an excessive dose of the Malaysia Boleh spirit to set my incredulous eyes rolling!On a long-drawn day when several countries around the world began confirming that they have been hit by swine flu and, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), experts were working on a vaccine but said it could take five or six months to develop, our very own Veterinary Services director-general, Dr Abdul Aziz Jamaluddin, has stepped forth to say that Malaysia already has the vaccine for swine flu.
I don't know whether or not this guy is on the same wavelength as the WHO. Here we are worrying about transmission of swine flu from human to human and the absence of a vaccination against swine flu, and this guy goes off to say that he has the vaccine for pigs.

I think he meant supplies of Tamiflu or Relanza.These are non specific flu vaccines that lessens the effects of the flu should you catch it.
Very difficult to have a type specific flu vaccine as these viruses mutate like crazy.The flu this time is a mutation of human (H1N1),swine ( being the host) and avian flu (H5N1).
Looks like the first horseman of the apocalypse is working hard.
Oh,looks like a vaccine for the pigs, not for humans.
