<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Bacteria can be grown in the laboratory on nutrient culture media, but viruses need living cells in which to replicate. Many [[vaccine]]s to [[infectious disease]]s can be grown in fertilised chicken eggs. Millions of eggs are used each year to generate the annual flu vaccine requirements, a complex process that takes about six months after the decision is made as to what strains of virus to include in the new vaccine. A problem with using eggs for this purpose is that people with egg [[Allergy|allergies]] are unable to be immunised, but this disadvantage may be overcome as new techniques for cell-based rather than egg-based culture become available. Cell-based culture will also be useful in a [[pandemic]] when it may be difficult to acquire a sufficiently large quantity of suitable sterile, fertile eggs.</div>FuzzyBot
