  • The **U.S. Department of Agriculture** is set to rebuild a stockpile of **bird flu vaccines** for poultry, targeting the current virus strains affecting both commercial flocks and wildlife.
  • The ongoing outbreak, which has been impacting the poultry industry since early **2022**, has resulted in the deaths of over **130 million birds** across all states.
  • The **economic impact** has been significant, particularly with the deaths of millions of egg-laying hens that led to **record-high wholesale egg prices** recently.
  • The USDA has previously established a vaccine stockpile after past outbreaks, but these vaccines were never utilized and eventually expired.
