"U.S. Ramps Up Bird Flu Vaccine Production Amid Rising Cases"
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. is preparing 4.8 million doses of bird flu vaccine in response to a growing outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) linked to dairy cattle. The CDC is investigating human cases, and the vaccines, produced by CSL Seqirus, are expected to be ready by late summer. However, regulatory approval is still needed before use. The CDC currently assesses the risk to the general public as low but has warned that workers in dairy farms are at higher risk.
