The World Health Organization (WHO) announced this Monday a new project to produce vaccines against avian flu with the help of messenger RNA (mRNA) technology; the same one used in the case of Covod-19.

Leading the project is the Argentine biopharmaceutical company Sinergium Biotech, with the support of the WHO and other organizations that take advantage of mRNA technology, as it allows for faster and more flexible production of vaccines.

With this new project, the WHO and others involved will seek to establish a global mRNA vaccine production network to respond more quickly and effectively to future pandemics, considering that avian flu could be a serious public health threat if it became a pandemic.

Thanks to this project, the capacity of low-income countries to develop and produce their own vaccines will be strengthened, reducing dependence on other countries and strengthening research and production areas in the pharmaceutical area.
