FDA Approves First GMO Flu Vaccine: Expected On Market in 2014 In early 2013, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the the very first genetically modified flu vaccine, known as Flublok. It contains recombinant DNA technology and an insect virus known as baculovirus that is apparently supposed to help facilitate a more rapid production of the vaccine. It could hit the market as early as next year. It was developed by Protein Sciences Corp, who received approval for the Flublock vaccine in January of 2103. It uses genetic engineering to grow portions of the virus in insect cells. collective-evolution/2013/07/12/fda-approves-first-gmo-flu-vaccine-expected-on-market-in-2014/
