Progress on Developing a New Vaccine for H5N1 Bird Flu Amid Rising Concerns

Credited from: TIME

  • A 13-year-old girl in Canada and a senior in Louisiana were recently diagnosed with severe cases of H5N1, raising alarm over bird flu.
  • Experts, including Dr. William Schaffner, stress the importance of monitoring bird flu as it could potentially mutate to infect humans and trigger a pandemic.
  • Efforts are underway to develop mRNA vaccines, as the technology used for COVID-19 vaccines can be adapted quickly for H5N1.
  • Current vaccines exist but may not effectively target the latest strains—major pharmaceutical companies are working on updated mRNA options.
  • While the CDC states the risk for the general public is low, vaccination may be considered for high-risk groups, particularly those in close contact with infected animals.
