A program of strategic vaccination of poultry in high-risk areas is now underway in Mexico under the direction of the SENASICA, the National Department of Health, Food Safety and Food Quality. Three vaccines, all locally produced, have been approved:-
- An oil emulsion product containing inactivated H5N2 derived from A/chicken Mexico 232/CPA/94, a low-pathogenicity strain propagated in chicken embryos
- An activated freeze-dried LaSota ND-vectored H5 vaccine
- Vectormune™ produced by CEVA comprising an HVT-vectored H5 strain
Pronabive™ developed in 2012 is available as an inactivated H7N3 oil emulsion vaccine deployed only against the homologous strain where it occurs.
