Baxter in talks to sell swine flu vaccine to India

Baxter International Inc., the largest maker of blood-disease treatments, said it is in talks with the Indian government to start supplying a swine flu vaccine as early as August.

The company can make the vaccine available in India once it gets a "go ahead from the government," Deerfield-based Baxter said in a statement issued in New Delhi today.

Baxter is in "full-scale" production of the vaccine using its Vero cell-culture technology, the company said on June 12.
