The purpose of this project is to partner with existing domestic large-scale commercial mRNA vaccine producer(s) with existing capabilities, including fill/finish and labeling/packaging and as-needed distribution activities that could be readily repurposed for a pandemic influenza response. The goal of this project is to rapidly enable a mRNA-based national pandemic influenza vaccination response capability by generating manufacturing and clinical data with various influenza strains of pandemic potential.
