Finland to receive first EU procured bird flu shots – POLITICO Europe

The contract is currently for 640,000 doses, with the possibility to buyup to 40 million dosesover four years.

HERA, which has been in talks with Seqirus for months, approached the company last year to ask it to update its zoonotic flu vaccine to the dominant circulating avian flu strain.

Seqiruss adapted zoonotic influenza vaccine was given the backing of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in April.
