respond to new (or imminent) viral strains much more quickly

That might give them a significant advantage. Right now there is over a 6 month lag after the strain is known to when the drug is available. (The WHO makes the strain recommendations at the end of February).

Baxter apparently also has a cell-based (vero, not human) flu vaccine that I think is approved in Europe:

intercell.com

So they seem to be well in the lead.
