    GSK wins $40m bird flu vaccine contract in US

    GlaxoSmithKline, Britain’s largest drug company, has won a contract worth at
    least $40m (£21m) to supply the US with bird flu vaccines. The group said
    it had signed the contract with the US department of health and human services
    to provide bulk H5N1 antigen – the substance in the vaccines that will help
    produce an immune response.

    GSK added that it would manufacture and store the antigen using its production
    facilities in North America. This follows the group’s recent £70m deal
    with the Swiss government to supply the entire population with bird flu
    vaccines.
