FDA to Grant Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for mRNA Bird-Flu Shots: A Glimpse into the Future of Pandemic Preparedness The medical establishment is gearing up for the potential launch of another pandemic, this time centered around H5N8 influenza, also known as avian influenza or bird flu. In a proactive move reminiscent of the rapid response to COVID-19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is preparing to grant Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for mRNA bird-flu vaccines.  The New Threat: H5N8 Influenza H5N8 influenza is a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus that primarily affects birds but has recently shown potential to infect humans.
