Original Note:
The U.S. government has long stockpiled vaccines to be used in a possible bird flu pandemic. The U.S. updates the vaccines regularly to match current strains. They will likely never be used. There is currently no evidence that H5N1 is spreading from person to person. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/24/bird-flu-what-to-know-about-human-cases-vaccines.html https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/hhs-advances-plan-produce-48-million-h5n1-vaccine-doses https://www.cdc.gov/flu/avianflu/candidate-vaccine-virus.htm
