New Delhi, Aug 4 - India may come out with a vaccine for the dreaded influenza A(H1N1) infection by September, health ministry officials said Tuesday.

The health ministry is working with the Serum Institute of India, Bharat Biotech and Panacea Biotech to develop the vaccine for swine flu, they said.

'Two of these companies have told us that they will be able to provide the vaccine by September while the third one hasn't given any time frame yet,' Director General of Health Services (DGHS) R.K. Srivastava told reporters here.

He said the companies were not given any deadline for developing vaccine.

The Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) and the Indian Virology Institute have already isolated the swine flu virus and started work on developing the vaccine.

India Monday reported first swine flu death in Pune as a 14-year-old girl succumbed to it. As many as 558 swine cases have been reported in the country and of these, 470 patients have been discharged after treatment.
