This year, the virus – which originated in birds but has shown the ability to ‘jump’ to other mammals – has rapidly spread amongst US dairy cattle this year.

The people infected in the US have mainly been farm workers who suffered only very mild diseases.

However, a teenager who recently acquired the infection in Canada through an unknown source has been in critical condition for over a month and remains in intensive care.

The vaccine has been developed by the Australian-owned company CSL Seqirus (CSLS) at its main UK manufacturing plant in Speke, Liverpool.

They have already been used to protect workers in Finland, where H5N1 spread amongst farmed mink last year. The Finnish government procured 10,000 doses – although only 450 people took up the offer to get jabbed.

Britain has secured five million doses of the H5 bird flu vaccine, fearing a possible pandemic if H5N1 mutates to spread between humans, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warned.

H5N1 has spread rapidly on farms, with over 50 human cases in the US.
