UK 'selfish' over swine flu
Updated on 06 August 2009
German and French health ministers have accused Britain of taking an "every man for himself" approach to buying vaccines.
The number of new cases of swine flu in England has "decreased significantly", according to the latest official figures.
There were an estimated 30,000 new cases of the virus last week, compared with 110,000 the previous week.
There is no sign of the virus mutating, and the majority of cases continue to be mild.
However there are increasing concerns in Europe over the supply of swine flu vaccine.
Britain has 130 million doses on order - enough to vaccinate the whole population twice.
Now they want EU countries to work together to buy and distribute vaccines to stop countries taking matters into their own hands.
