(Reuters) - A virologist inoculates a SPF (Specific Pathogen Free) egg with a sample suspected of bird flu during a bird flu detection test at Portugal's Veterinarian Institute in Lisbon November 8, 2005. Global health experts said on Tuesday it would be possible to produce 900 million doses of a new vaccine against a pandemic flu outbreak but even that would not be enough to meet demand. Some 400 animal and health experts meeting at the World Health Organisation in Geneva want to build up regional stockpiles of antiviral drugs to counter a possible pandemic virus that could travel around the world in three to four months.
