Baldwin Sponsors Bill For Universal Flu Vaccine Development

U-S Senator Tammy Baldwin is co-sponsoring a bill to support comprehensive research for the creation of a universal flu vaccine.  The Flu Vaccine Act could eventually lead to a flu shot that could be administered once or twice and provide a lifetime of protection.  Baldwin says this year Wisconsin is experiencing a severe flu season that is threatening the lives of children and families.  She adds that it’s absolutely critical we increase our federal investment in medical research.  The legislation calls for a  total investment of one-billion dollars.
