MEXICO CITY, Mexico — October 15, 2026 — Mexico’s National Service for Health, Food Safety and Quality (SENASICA), alongside international virology researchers, has released updated efficacy evaluations of commercial avian influenza vaccines targeting High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b. The findings outline a updated strategy for ring-vaccination across high-density commercial egg-layer and broiler zones in Jalisco, Guanajuato, and Puebla.

Evaluating Cellular and Neutralizing Antibody Correlates

Published research evaluates both neutralizing antibody titers and non-neutralizing cellular immune markers driven by updated commercial H5 recombinant vaccines:

  • Clade-Specific Protection: Bivalent formulations matching circulating Latin American 2.3.4.4b wild-bird isolates demonstrated complete suppression of viral shedding in commercial poultry challenge models.

  • Systemic Surveillance Protocols: SENASICA mandates that vaccinated commercial flocks undergo routine sentinel bird monitoring to differentiate infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA strategy), safeguarding international poultry trade agreements.
