'Moderna Says Ongoing Support From U.S. HHS To Accelerate Development Of mRNA-based Pandemic Influenza Vaccines; $590M Award Funded In Whole Or In Part With Federal Funds From HHS, ASPR, BARDA' - NBC News

The CDC issued a health advisory Thursday recommending that hospitalized patients who have tested positive for influenza be tested for the bird flu <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/42854890/us-records-first-human-bird-flu-death-high-levels-of-respiratory-illnesses-vaccine-stocks-rally">virus within 24 hours.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: There have been 67 confirmed human cases of bird flu in the U.S. since 2024 and the CDC<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html"> says it is</a> "watching the situation carefully and working with states to monitor people with animal exposures."
The CDC's latest H5N1<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/han/2025/han00520.html"> bird flu advisory</a> comes as new cases continue to be revealed. On Wednesday, the CDC confirmed a bird flu infection in a child in the San Francisco area who was not hospitalized and has since recovered. The CDC said it is still investigating how the child was exposed to the virus.

According to a Washington Post<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/01/16/bird-flu-testing-patients-in-hospital/"> report</a>, Nirav Shah, CDC's principal deputy director, said the latest recommendation is meant to accelerate testing rather than increase the number of tests being performed.&nbsp;
Shah said it was prompted by cases in which infected patients were later confirmed to have bird flu, including after being discharged.
Earlier this month, the Louisiana Department of Health reported the first human death in the U.S. related to the H5N1 bird flu virus.
Vaccine Makers: Shares of vaccine-related stocks are on watch as previous bird flu developments have caused shares to spike.&nbsp;
Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) received a $176 million government contract in July to advance development of its bird flu vaccine, leveraging the same mRNA technology used in the company's COVID-19 vaccine.  
Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) has a bird flu vaccine in clinical trials<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41878334/fda-gives-green-signal-to-novavaxs-covid-19-influenza-combo-vaccine-late-stage-trial"> in addition</a> to a COVID-19-influenza combination vaccine in late-stage clinical trials. 
CureVac N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVAC#NASDAQ">CVAC</a>) stock is also on watch as the company has started a phase I/II study on its bird flu vaccine developed in collaboration with GSK plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>).

12 Health Care Stocks Moving In Monday's Pre-Market Session

Traders adopted a cautious approach on Monday as they awaited two critical inflation reports due later this week, seeking clarity on Federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/42953940/tuesdays-producer-inflation-report-could-stoke-market-volatility-as-fed-path-remains-unclear">Reserve interest rate policy. </a>
Additionally, the kickoff of earnings season, led by major banks on Wednesday, added to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">the market&#8217;s subdued tone.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 edged lower, continuing Friday&#8217;s downturn sparked by unexpectedly strong jobs data. The lack of &#8220;buy-the-dip&#8221; enthusiasm in the tech-heavy indices signaled lingering uncertainty among investors.
In contrast, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a gain, buoyed by a rally in energy stocks. Rising oil prices provided a key lift, as West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil surged over 3% to approach $78 per barrel — a level last seen in mid-August 2024. The spike followed U.S. sanctions on Russian crude exports announced on Friday, which shifted market expectations around supply and demand.
Treasury yields extended their ascent, with the 10-year yield climbing to 4.79% and the 30-year yield rising to 4.97%, reflecting heightened expectations for tighter monetary policy. Bank of America Securities launched a bombshell indicating rising risks towards a rate hike as the next Fed move.
Commodity markets saw mixed action. Gold endured its sharpest daily loss in nearly a month, falling more than 1% as rising yields weighed on the precious metal. Meanwhile, copper staged a modest rebound, gaining 0.8% after a 0.5% decline last Friday.
Cryptocurrencies faced renewed volatility, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) plunging 3% to dip below $92,000, briefly touching a two-month low. The ripple effects extended to crypto-linked equities: MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) slid more than 3%, while Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) dropped nearly 4%.

The company will present at the 43rd&nbsp;Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference.
In September, Moderna unveiled key updates at its annual R&amp;D Day by reducing annual R&amp;D spending by $1.1 billion by 2027, enabling a focus on&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40863528/moderna-faces-analyst-downgrades-amid-revised-r-d-restructured-strategy-and-delayed" rel="noreferrer noopener">ten prioritized products</a>.

The strategy, expanding its portfolio into oncology and rare diseases, positions Moderna to deliver ten product approvals within the next three years.
In fiscal year 2024,&nbsp;Moderna achieved preliminary product sales of approximately $3 billion-3.1 billion, comprising $1.7 billion in the U.S. and $1.3 to 1.4 billion in the rest of the World.
This includes more than $3 billion in Spikevax sales and minimal sales from mRESVIA, its RSV Vaccine. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments at year-end 2024 were approximately $9.5 billion.
Moderna is accelerating and expanding its previous cost efficiency and prioritization programs and now projects cash cost reductions of $1.0 billion in 2025.

In<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> an update </a>on Monday, CDC said there have been 66 confirmed cases in the U.S. in the 2024 outbreak. 
CDC said the public risk remains low. Bird flu has severely impacted poultry farms and cattle herds across 16 states, marking the worst outbreak of its kind.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Vaccine Providers in the Limelight</h3>
In the U.S., vaccines against H5N1 are already stockpiled. Approved shots include those from Sanofi (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>), CSL Seqirus, and ID Biomedical Corporation of Quebec, a subsidiary of GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>), which collectively secured $72 million in funding from the U.S. health department in October to boost the production of bird flu vaccines. These traditional vaccines, developed years ago, target older H5N1 strains but are expected to offer some protection.
Moderna, backed by $176 million from the U.S. government's BARDA, is working on an updated mRNA H5N1 vaccine. Other players, including Pfizer and GSK (in collaboration with CureVac), are testing similar candidates.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs in Focus</h3>
For investors who want to play the trend but are wary of choosing individual biotech stocks, here are three ETFs that offer diversified exposure to the biotech companies leading the vaccine efforts. With a mix of traditional and mRNA vaccine developers in focus, these funds could benefit as the world prepares for a potential bird flu pandemic.
iShares Genomics Immunology and Healthcare ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDNA#NYSE">IDNA</a>) tracks the NYSE FactSet Global Genomics and Immuno Biopharma Index, and has already gained 2.5% so far this year. The fund has an expense ratio of 0.47%, and $129.97 million in assets under management (AUM). The fund has currently invested 4.48% of its assets in Moderna. Sanofi, GSK and Novavax are also part of its portfolio of 51 equity holdings.
First Trust Nasdaq Pharmaceuticals ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXH#NASDAQ">FTXH</a>) derives its investment strategy from the Nasdaq US Benchmark Index, and has an expense ratio of 0.60%. Pfizer is one of its top holdings, with 7.28% of assets allocated to it.
SPDR S&amp;P Biotech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XBI#NYSE">XBI</a>) mirrors the S&amp;P&nbsp;Biotechnology Select Industry&nbsp;Index, and charges a 0.35% expense ratio. Out of its present AUM of $6.37 billion, Moderna holds 2.58%. Almost 100% of its holdings are exposed to the biotechnology sector, with only about 0.04% invested in the pharmaceutical sector.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Bird Flu Menace </h3>
The bird flu scare in humans ratcheted higher in late 2024 when a 13-year-old girl in Canada fell critically ill with H5N1 and required a ventilator. Around the same time, the U.S. reported its first severe case in an elderly patient in Louisiana.
Health experts warn that vigilance is key to preventing mutations that could trigger a pandemic. While the technology to develop vaccines quickly is available, governments may need to fund large-scale clinical trials in advance to ensure rapid distribution in case of a health emergency.
