Swine flu vaccine appeal to firms
The World Health Organization has urged pharmaceutical companies to reserve part of their swine
flu vaccines for poor countries.
The UN body is asking firms to donate at least 10% of production or to offer reduced prices for
poor countries, which may lose out if demand soars.
Six out of 30 leading vaccine producers who met UN chief Ban Ki-moon in Geneva agreed to
donate 10%.
Mr Ban said that the world must remain vigilant over the H1N1 virus.
"We may be in a grace period with H1N1 but we are still in the danger zone," he told reporters.
The WHO has confirmed nearly 10,000 swine flu cases in 40 countries.
The new virus is known to have killed 79 people, the vast majority of them in Mexico, where it was
first reported.
Health ministers from around the world are in Geneva for the WHO's annual assembly, where they
are discussing how to tackle the outbreak.
