UK buys over 5M doses of H5 bird flu vaccine to prepare for potential human transmission.

The UK government has purchased over five million doses of a new H5 bird flu vaccine from CSL Seqirus UK to enhance preparedness for potential pandemics. The vaccine will be used if the H5N1 virus begins spreading among humans, though there is currently no evidence of such transmission. The move aims to bolster the UK's access to vaccines for pathogens with pandemic potential, with the UK Health Security Agency monitoring for any human cases.
