But experts say that unlike COVID, which was an entirely new virus, they won’t start from scratch if avian influenza does jump to humans. There are already several available vaccines and treatments — and more in development — to combat the largely familiar foe. </p> <p>Even so, there are still unknowns. </p> <p>“The biggest challenge we have right now is trying to figure out where this is going to go. If it keeps on the exact same path it's on right now, it's not going to be a problem. We're not going to see very many human cases outside of occupational exposures,” said Brian Labus, an assistant professor in the department of epidemiology and statistics at the University of Nevada Las Vegas School of Public Health. “But that virus can always mutate and lead to something we've never dealt with before, and create a new set of problems.”</p> <h3 class="standard-heading">A brimming stockpile</h3> <p>Goad said the Food and Drug Administration has three approved H5N1 vaccines in the <a href="https://aspr.hhs.gov/H5N1/Pages/default.aspx">national stockpile</a> and more in the pipeline. The approved vaccines include <a href="https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/audenz">Audenz</a> from Seqirus; a <a href="https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/vaccines/influenza-h1n1-2009-monovalent-vaccine-sanofi-pasteur-inc">vaccine from Sanofi</a>, licensed in 2007; and <a href="https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/arepanrix">Arepanrix</a> from GSK subsidiary ID Biomedical Corporation of Quebec. The vaccines aren’t currently available to the public but are ready to be rolled out in a health emergency.</p> <p>The stockpile also contains the raw materials to rapidly formulate enough vaccine doses for critical care workers and people at high risk for infection. </p> <div class="hybrid-ad-wrapper show-small hide-large"> <div class="hybrid-ad-inner-wrapper"> <div class="show-small hide-large"> <div data-container-ad-unit-id="/21662595662/biopharmadive/biopharmadivehybrid2-mobile"></div> <div id="dfp-hybrid2-mobile"> <script> waitToLoadAds.push(function() { googletag.cmd.push(function() { if (window.dfp_visibility == 'mobile' ) { googletag.display('dfp-hybrid2-mobile'); googletag.pubads().addEventListener('slotRenderEnded', function (event) { var adUnitPath = '/21662595662/biopharmadive/biopharmadivehybrid2'; var onProformative = false; if (onProformative && event.slot.getAdUnitPath() === adUnitPath && !event.isEmpty ) { var adUnitPathWithVisibility = adUnitPath + '-mobile'; var selector = '.pf-comments__ad-wrapper [data-container-ad-unit-id="' + adUnitPathWithVisibility + '"]'; if (!$(selector).closest('.pf-comments__ad-wrapper').hasClass('borders')) { $(selector).closest('.pf-comments__ad-wrapper').addClass('borders') } } }); } }); }); </script> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="hide-small show-large" id="desktop-inline-signup"></div> <p>“The government has the raw material to make millions of additional doses within weeks, with more to come in the following months,” according to the <a href="https://aspr.hhs.gov/H5N1/Pages/default.aspx">U.S. Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response</a>. These vaccines are all made using traditional flu development technology. </p> <p>“GSK's H5N1 pandemic vaccine can generate some cross-neutralizing antibodies against the current circulating strains and is recognized as an important tool in reducing illness during a possible H5N1 pandemic,” a GSK spokesperson said in an email. “The vaccine is designed to be updated with the latest circulating strain of interest, as identified by the WHO.”</p> <p>ASPR granted Sanofi, Seqirus and GSK $72 million in October to manufacture vials or pre-filled syringes to get doses ready to distribute. </p> <p>“The companies also will manufacture additional bulk influenza antigen — the component of vaccines that stimulates an immune response — from seed stocks that are well matched to circulating strains,”<a href="https://aspr.hhs.gov/newsroom/Pages/ASPR-Next-Steps-Against-H5-Influenza.aspx"> ASPR said</a>.</p> <p>The government is also investing in mRNA vaccines, which can be manufactured and rolled out more quickly than traditional shots. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services gave Moderna <a href="https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2025/01/17/hhs-provides-590-million-accelerate-pandemic-influenza-mrna-based-vaccine-development-enhance-platform-capability-other-emerging-infectious-disease.html">$590 million</a> to speed development of its shots, including an investigational H5N1 candidate.</p> <p>Other companies also have mRNA options in the works. GSK has an mRNA pandemic flu candidate in mid-stage development. Pfizer also has one that could be customized quickly to target the circulating flu strain, as does <a href="https://ir.arcturusrx.com/news-releases/news-release-details/arcturus-announces-632-million-award-us-government-support">Arcturus Therapeutics</a>. </p><div class="show-small hide-large" id="mobile-inline-signup"></div><section class="storylines-carousel-wrapper hide-small show-large" id="desktop-carousel"></section> <h3 class="standard-heading">Bird flu therapeutics</h3> <p>In addition to vaccines, there are also approved treatments for bird flu. </p> <p>“We have a number of drugs that we use to treat seasonal influenza, including Tamiflu,” Labus said. “Everything that we have that works against our seasonal flu is part of that arsenal against bird flu as well. The therapeutics are well developed at this point, and the drugs that we have would be effective. It's not like we're starting over with Coronavirus.”</p> <p>In addition, several companies are working on new antiviral options, including Traws Pharma, which is <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/traws-pharma-announces-progress-in-developing-tivoxavir-marboxil-for-h5n1-bird-flu-302338003.html#:~:text=NEWTOWN%2C%20Pa.%2C%20Dec.,pandemic%20spread%20of%20bird%20flu.%22">moving into phase 2</a> with a single-dose H5N1 bird flu antiviral, tivoxavir marboxil; CoCrystal Pharma’s <a href="https://www.cocrystalpharma.com/news/press-releases/detail/197/cocrystal-pharmas-co-ceos-highlight-pioneering-approach">PB2 inhibitor CC-42344</a>; and <a href="https://www.biospace.com/press-releases/nanoviricides-is-in-a-great-position-to-fight-potential-bird-flu-pandemic-with-a-drug-that-the-mercurial-h5n1-influenza-a-virus-is-unlikely-to-escape#:~:text=In%20this%20animal%20study%2C%20we,animal%20from%20advancing%20into%20pneumonia.">NV-387</a>, a broad spectrum antiviral from NanoViricides. </p> <p>Health systems established to address COVID can also help public health officials tackle new threats. However, lingering vaccine hesitancy could create political headwinds and complicate the landscape if bird flu begins to spread in humans.</p> <p>“Unfortunately, we also learned that the undercurrent of hesitancy to use these prevention strategies can lead to unnecessary harm and loss of life,” Goad said. “We need to do a better job now of communicating the risks of avian influenza and educating the public about tools we have to prevent and treat it so people do not feel like it’s ‘new’ or ‘untested’ when the next pandemic hits.”</p> </div> <div class="reading-list recommended-reading"> <h3
