British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline is currently Saudi Arabia's sole supplier of a vaccine for the H1N1 flu virus, the health ministry spokesman said on Saturday.

"For the moment, the only vaccine that has been authorised is the GlaxoSmithKline vaccine Pandemrix," health ministry spokesman Khaled Mirghalani said.

"We will in the future get vaccines from other clients, from other companies as soon as they get approved by the SFDA (Saudi Food and Drug Authority)," he said.
