UPDATE 1-Glaxo wins U.S. approval for swine flu

vaccine

FDA approves unadjuvanted

H1N1

pandemic vaccine

* Glaxo plans to ship all 7.6 mln doses in December

background)

NEW YORK, Nov 10 (Reuters) - GlaxoKline Plc

(

GSK.L) has won U.S. marketing approval to sell an unadjuvanted H1N1

swine vaccine, allowing it to ship relatively modest amounts of scarce

vaccine to the United States next month.

The British company said on Tuesday the Food and Drug Administration had

approved a modified version of its FluLaval seasonal flu vaccine

containing the new

H1N1

strain.

The green light clears the way for it to fill a order for 7.6 million

doses from the U.S. government.

Glaxo is one of the world's largest manufacturers of flu vaccines, along

with Sanofi-Aventis SA

(

SASY.PA) and Novartis AG

(

NOVN.VX).

But it is not a big source of

swine

flu vaccine for the United States, since its main

H1N1

vaccine Pandemrix contains an adjuvant, or additive, and is not being

used here.

The company's chief executive, Witty, told reporters last month

that it would be only a " bit-part player in the U.S. flu

scenario. "

The 7.6 million doses of Glaxo's unadjuvanted vaccine, which is being

manufactured in Canada, is just a small fraction of the 250 million doses

ordered by the U.S. government.

Glaxo said it expected to start shipping its vaccine in December and

complete deliveries by the end of the year.

Worldwide, Glaxo has taken orders for more than 440 million doses of its

adjuvanted Pandemrix H1N1 vacccine. (Reporting by
