Now, how long does it usually take for the FDA to approve the PLA?? Is there any chance we could see this hit the market THIS flu season??????

Two newsletters/analysts have speculated that, partly because of the NIH link, the FDA would give a fast-track approval and the drug would be ready for this season. This is possible but would be unusual. Fast track is usually for drugs that can immediately save lives where there are almost no alternatives. (At least that's the way I the lay person understand it.) We're probably looking at next flu season.
