ASTANA, November 4 (RIA Novosti) - Kazakhstan will start testing a domestically produced A/H1N1 vaccine soon, the country's chief sanitary official Kenes Ospanov said on Wednesday.

"We will begin clinical tests of a new vaccine against the pandemic flu," the official told a news conference in the Kazakh capital of Astana.

He added that his country had no plans to buy the vaccine abroad, but some $18.6 million could be allocated for the purpose if necessary.

The ex-Soviet state had earlier developed its own bird flu vaccine.

A total of 17 swine flu cases were reported in the republic during thesummer months. No new cases have since been registered.
