The process will ensure vaccines are ready to distribute if needed.
Federal health officials announced Friday they are providing $72 million to vaccine manufacturers to help ensure currently available bird flu vaccines are ready-to-use, if needed.
There are currently no recommendations for anyone in the U.S. to be vaccinated against bird flu, but officials from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) noted this is being done out of "an abundance of caution."
The funds will allow for pharmaceutical companies CSL Seqirus, Sanofi, and GSK to "fill and finish"-- a process to fill vaccines from bulk storage into ready-to-use vials or pre-filled syringes. This will ensure vaccines are ready to distribute, if necessary.
"The actions taken today will improve the country's preparedness against novel influenza, including H5," said David Boucher, director of infectious disease preparedness and response at HHS' Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR), on a call with reporters. "The ability to rapidly develop and distribute vaccines is essential in preparing for a public health emergency."
The HHS said the company will manufacture additional influenzas antigen -- the component of vaccines that stimulates an immune response -- in bulk that is well-match to the strain of bird flu that are currently circulating.
Health officials had previously filled nearly 5 million vaccines doses and expect the new funding to double the ready-to-use stockpile.
"We're still working through manufacturing schedules with our industry partners, but we do expect that we will have a total of just over 10 million doses filled and finished by the end of the first quarter of calendar year 2025," Boucher said.
Other companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, are continuing efforts to develop an mRNA bird flu vaccine, which is the same technology used in the companies' respective COVID-19 vaccines.

And what, pray tell, mRNA modifications will also be passed along this time? /shiny side out
No. I do not trust any of them at all.
Who in their right mind would even consider taking that crap?
Watch for thousands of replays of brand new TV ads of a wise woman and black man each having a pharma company bandaid put on their arm by an Asian nurse while a meek white man looks on in admiration of wonder at their superiority for "protecting my family and my community by the new vaccine."
Nobody has to take it.
That’s the beauty of the grift.
Big Pharma gets paid whether uptake is good or not.
People whose jobs are threatened via OSHA imposing severe fines to their employers.
I will never get a shot of anything again. I almost got another tetanus shot. I changed my mind.
Yep
Good point.
Infuriating.
Same here. Used to get the annual flu shot,but I stopped that 4 years ago.
Here’s a free bird for them.... 🖕
🚫😷💉💊🐂💩
Who would even get those shots at this point? 😬
Government only rewards failure. Every time. No exceptions.
mRNA vaccines are the largest crime against humanity ever perpetrated. The human genome has been damaged.
our untethered gov’t experts insist on saving (murdering) us slowly by jab or lockdown.
the national socialists and the empire of Japan were evil, but at least they gave you a quick bullet or the gas chamber. they knew and you knew they were killing you and exactly why they were killing you.
I am the same way. I don’t trust anything in a syringe anymore. I am also leery on pills too. Not for the mRNA but because they are not made in the US. Twice my heart meds have caused me problems. The first time about 2 or 3 days after starting a new refill my BP start to climb and I had check pains. I got a new refill and every started to return to normal. The second time, after about 2 weeks my BP was WAY out of control. It triggered a complex migraine that simulated a stroke. After several days in the hospital, I got a different refill and everything went back to normal. I also refused any injection while in the hospital. I am probably on a list somewhere for that too. My regular medical records states I have not received a covid vaccine. I guess they are tracking pure bloods in some areas.
