PANDEMIC RESPONSE SOLUTIONS™

An influenza pandemic occurs when a new flu virus emerges for which humans have little or no immunity, allowing the virus to spread rapidly from person to person worldwide1.

Experts agree there will be another influenza pandemic this century. Although it cannot be determined when or what influenza strain will start to spread among humans, the world must be prepared for such an event. When millions of lives are at stake, a daunting challenge remains to provide rapid access to adequate pandemic vaccines and medical countermeasures.

As a global leader in influenza vaccine technologies, CSL Seqirus offers a comprehensive portfolio of pandemic influenza vaccines and services tailored to rapid response.

A comprehensive portfolio of solutions

We offer a portfolio of pre-pandemic and pandemic influenza vaccines through agreements signed with governments as well as with the World Health Organization. These agreements ensure that pandemic influenza dose capacity is reserved and can be deployed upon the declaration of a pandemic. Some governments have policies to protect First-Responders with early access to pandemic vaccine doses. Many of these governments rely on CSL Seqirus to provide pre-pandemic stockpiles of antigen and MF59® adjuvant that could be quickly combined in the early phase of a global outbreak.
