New vaccine production technique to reduce egg usage

Nessie sent in news of some advances in vaccine production. In the past, certain flu vaccines were crafted inside hen’s eggs, with a yield of one shot per egg. Under this new technique, a big bowl of bacteria can produce 10,000 shots in a single two pint batch. There’s still all kinds of animal testing involved, of course, but this is a step towards a slightly kinder drug industry, or at least one that uses less animal products. Link.
