So you've got this new facility which has been open since the end of last year.
How quickly can that produce vaccines?
If there was a pandemic, I don't know, tomorrow, God forbid, how quickly could you turn around and start producing vaccines against a particular, just say it's a flu virus that becomes...
A pandemic.
How does that compare to if you had the egg-based way of making vaccines?
How much quicker is that?
So that's flu cell vax.
CSL Circus also makes Fluad, which is for older people.
Is that still made in eggs?
I noticed that two of the three flu strains in the egg-based and cell-based vaccines are the same, but one of the influenza A strains is different.
So it's a Singapore strain in the egg-based shots and Sydney strain in the cell-based shots.
Why is that?
Chris Larkins, Head of Operations at CSL Securus.
Thanks, Bill.

You've gone too high.
