How the Flu Vaccine Is Made

How the Flu Vaccine Is Made Dr. Travis Stork: What I want to do right now is show everyone step by step how the flu vaccine is made. Take a look. The flu vaccine is conceived in birth from chicken eggs. The eggs are fertilized so they each have a live embryo growing inside. Then they are processed, incubated and sterilized. 11 days after fertilization, a tech injects a lab grown strain of the influenza virus into the fluid of each egg. The virus infects the embryonic fluid and the embryo inside. The virus multiplies within its live host for several days. After the incubation period, special machines carefully open the eggs to harvest the virus. That active live virus is then purified. The thorough purification process ensures the virus is no longer dangerous and that’s what becomes your flu vaccine.
