<h1>ICMR Develops Human Vaccine for Avian Influenza H5N1; Seeks Collaborative R&D to Boost Pandemic Preparedness</h1> The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has begun developing a human vaccine candidate against the avian influenza H5N1, a highly pathogenic bird flu strain. This initiative invites collaboration with eligible organizations for research and development. Recent outbreaks in India have affected poultry and wild birds, causing economic losses and public health concerns due to the virus's zoonotic potential. Although human cases are rare, the virus poses a significant risk due to its high mortality rate. The ICMR aims to enhance pandemic preparedness through vaccine development, surveillance, and public awareness to mitigate future outbreaks.
