Middle East business information

Saudi Arabia's health ministry has said that UK-based GlaxoSmithKline is the kingdom's sole supplier of an H1N1 flu vaccine, but other firms may later be included for the supply of a nationwide inoculation campaign, Reuters has reported. 'We will in the future get vaccines from other clients, from other companies, as soon as they get approved by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority,' health ministry spokesman Khaled Mirghalani told the news service.
