Two vaccines are being used alongside each other one developed from trails last winter, and the other similar to that available for several years. Comparative records of the two vaccines will be kept by factory medical officers for a period of three months. Industry rates very highly all attempts to overcome the losses it always has with bouts of influenza. If a positive vaccine could be produced, it would be worth millions of pounds in saved time and increased production.
