Summary

The USDA will invest up to $100 million to fund research into therapies and potential vaccines for bird flu, which has killed nearly 170 million birds since 2022.

The funding targets vaccine makers, states, universities, and other entities. The U.S. will also import more eggs from South Korea to lower prices.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins discussed virus containment with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who opposes vaccination.

The USDA continues to mandate culling infected flocks and is seeking vaccine candidates matched to circulating variants.
