Vinny Tiso, a pharmaceutical industry verteran, discussed Flu vaccines, with a particular emphasis on the Swine Flu. Vinny gave us a historical perspective on epidemics, including the Black Plague in the Middle Ages, the Spanish Flu of 1918, and the Swine Flu outbreak in the 1970’s. He explained why the Swine Flu is of major concern today and outlined the various immunization options. There was some discussion regarding the safety of the vaccines, particularly the nasal spray variety.
