H1N1 contd. - anyone want some vaccines going cheap?

Greece cancelled Monday a third of its swine flu vaccination orders and sought compensation for the advances it paid to the big companies that provide them, the health ministry said.

Meanwhile, Norway agreed a deal with British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to reduce its number of vaccines by 30 percent according to its health ministry.

"We will pay only for the deliveries we have received", Greece's health minister said at a press conference, adding "the country demands the refund of the advance orders", from GSK, and two other pharmaceutical firms Novartis and Sanofis.
