GlaxoSmithKline, To Supply U.S. Stockpile with bulk H5N1 Antigen

Also, GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) has been awarded a contract to supply pre-pandemic vaccines to the US strategic national stockpile. GSK has received a an initial $40 million order under the contract from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for bulk H5N1 antigen -- the substance in the vaccines that will help produce an immune response.

GlaxoSmithKline.jpg The terms of the said contract include the following:

  • GSK will manufacture and store bulk H5N1 antigen using its recently acquired production facilities in North America.
  • GSK may be directed by HHS to formulate this bulk antigen at some point in the future.
  • HHS also has the option to purchase pre-pandemic vaccines together with one of GSK's proprietary adjuvant systems, which could mean that less antigen would be needed per dose to achieve a protective immune response.
  • GlaxoSmithKline is one of the world’s largest vaccine manufacturers.
