(By the way, I'm surprised that Bill seems to be promoting this idea of the universal flu vaccine as if the US government hasn't been properly focused on it -- surely he knows about all the work that NIH has been doing, and about the current strategic plan?

I'm not sure where that number comes from. The specific question that Alex thought might come up on Tuesday is what the funding trajectory is that's really needed if the preparation of the universal flu vaccine was to be considered the highest priority for the nation. > > What's the answer to that? > > Glad to speak by phone if that would make this easier.

Melinda/Sara: See note below from Dr. Collins. Please go over or have someone go over to the VRC to get the 3D model of the entire hemagglutinin molecule as well as the model of the nanoparticle with the attached HA stem (the one that I showed at the recent Congressional Hearing). We need it as early as possible in the AM tomorrow since the White House meeting is in the very early afternoon. Thanks, Tony
