The Engl. Fullscale production of vaccine that could prevent any illness at all from the strain would require at least three months after the viruss emergence to begin, but it is hoped that vaccine production could increase until one billion doses were produced by one year after the initial identification of the virus. H5N1 cause more than one influenza pandemic as it is expected to continue mutating in birds regardless of whether humans develop herd immunity to future pandemic strain.
