Symposium to examine flu pandemic prep and pharmaceuticals

Seton Hall Law School, along with the Seton Hall Law Review, is hosting a public symposium later this year about pandemic flu prep. Here's how they describe the event:

Panels will explore issues related to the development and approval of vaccines and antiviral drugs, both before and during a pandemic; the allocation of vaccines and antiviral drugs in situations of scarcity; pricing issues; and liability and compensation for drug-related injuries. There will be a special emphasis on issues related to international equity.

And they're looking for panelists.
