The UK has begun trialling an mRNA vaccine against the H5N1 bird flu strain, with the first volunteers immunised at a clinic in Southampton. The 4,000-person trial targets poultry workers and over-65s, the highest at-risk groups.

There have been 116 confirmed human cases globally since 2024, with nearly half of all 1,000 cases since 2003 proving fatal.
