Via RIA Novosti.

Volunteers for trials of a bird flu vaccine will get about 200 euros each, Director of Russia's Influenza Research Institute Oleg Kiselyov said Wednesday.

"Each volunteer will receive no more than 200 euros for the trials," he told RIA Novosti. "An ideal volunteer for us is a 25-year-old man."

"Twenty volunteers will participate in the trials, which will be conducted in November-December 2005," he said. "If the results are successful, we will be able to start selling the vaccine as early as March 2006."
