Good Question, I Do Say

From today's Boston Globe, a good question:

AFTER READING about the shortage of flu vaccine, I was surprised to learn that all of this country's vaccine is produced by British and French companies ("Safety fears cut vaccine for flu," Page A1, Oct. 6). Evidently the Bush administration doesn't have the same fear of importing vaccines from England and France as it does about importing drugs from Canada. Now that shortages have occurred (again), can the American public expect an explanation as to what the British and French are doing to ensure our safety that the Canadians are not?

Anyone able to respond?
