Protein Sciences and Partnership for Influenza Vaccine Introduction (PIVI) Team Up to Combat the Flu in Mongolia. 45,000 doses of Flublok were donated to Mongolian Ministry of Health to help protect communities from the devastating impacts of the flu. The doses of Flublok have been distributed and used in all regions of Mongolia for health care workers, pregnant women, and those from the general public that come to participating clinics during the influenza vaccine campaign. The government of Mongolia is committed to develop an expanded, sustainable seasonal influenza program. PIVI and Protein Sciences Corporation, through the Flublok donation, are providing key support to Mongolia to achieve this vision. Flublok is a breakthrough in how flu vaccines are manufactured. It is the only flu vaccine that is an exact match to circulating flu strains, and it has been shown to protect broadly against the flu. In addition, it is the only flu vaccine made without ingredients that have been found objectionable in traditional flu vaccines. As part of the vaccination campaign, health care workers will be trained in administering the vaccine and will be provided all of the proper immunization information in their local language. Once the campaign is complete, the partners will work together to develop and conduct post-campaign evaluation protocols that will provide data to improve vaccination services in future.
