David: I spoke to people at the Statenseruminstitut(SSI) in Denmark last week just to get a first hand report on how they were doing with DTaP-IPV.
DTaP-IPV was approved in Denmark in late 1996. They started using DTaP-IPV in 1997. They had an "outbreak" of pertussis that year. Of the cases reported during 1997, most had been vaccinated with the old wP vaccine or had not been vaccinated at all and a very few were receiving the new DTaP-IPV vaccine. The individual I spoke to said the NVX vaccine performed extremely well. " The 'outbreak' was stopped". The Danes are extremely happy with the performance of DTaP-IPV.

This is the first and only DTaP-IPV vaccine licensed in the world.

What will become very evident once Abbott starts telling their story is that NVX's DTaP vaccine has performed extremely well under conditions where there were actually major "outbreaks" of the pertussis disease both in Denmark and in Sweden.

I will say that now that I have spoken first hand to those who are using NVX's vaccine I am highly confident that Abbott will dominate the DTaP market in the U.S. .
That makes the analyst estimates that are out, that are based on capturing 20% of the DTaP market, very conservative.

NVX WILL GET FDA APPROVAL ANYDAY NOW.

NVX WILL HAVE ONE FANTASTIC YEAR IN 1999.
