FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE South Dakota Company Responds to USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics Notice on H5N1 Vaccine Production Medgene to test its rapid-response vaccine technology in dairy cattle study BROOKINGS, SD — Animal health vaccine manufacturer Medgene has responded to notice from the USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB) on testing of vaccines to address H5N1 incidence in dairy cattle. The CVB Notice, 24-13*, now allows for vaccine studies to be conducted outside of containment facilities. The new notice has potential to accelerate agency licensure of H5N1 vaccines in dairy cows. “This is great news for us, for the CVB and more importantly, the dairy industry,” stated Chief Operating Officer Tom Halbur. “Our technology is founded on being able to respond to disease challenges, faster. Our protocol satisfies the stated requirements and we’re looking forward to doing our part in supporting both the necessary regulatory policies and the needs of the dairy industry.” In 2018, the USDA created a regulatory pathway for animal health companies to address critical disease challenges through vaccination. Medgene’s proprietary model of production was developed to take advantage of modern advances in vaccine science. The category of vaccines created under USDA’s regulatory pathway is called “prescription platform.” The expected result of Medgene’s development work will be conditional or full licensure by the CVB to produce and distribute an #H5N1vaccine that has been proven safe and effective in dairy cattle. Medgene’s prescription platform technology requires that veterinarians are involved in every critical step, including prescribing and supervising the use of the #H5N1 vaccine. ABOUT MEDGENE Medgene is an American animal health company headquartered in Brookings, South Dakota. Medgene received the first USDA license to produce Platform Vaccines for the cattle industry, allowing veterinarians to safely respond to diseases faster and more efficiently. Medgene’s prescription platform vaccine technology is also licensed for use in 🐖, 🐄 , 🐇 and 🦌. Medgene’s prescription platform system ensures that all the ingredients that go into our vaccines are animal origin free. #animalhealth #veterinarian #vaccine #swine #cattle #rhdv

Congratulations to the USDA for this significant step towards meeting the needs of dairy producers during the H5N1 outbreak. Medgene is ready to put our vaccine in the field, and will be working with some of the dairy vets who have been waiting after pre-ordering hundreds of thousands of doses in anticipation of this decision.

Medgene E-Bulletin Porcine circovirus type 4 (PCV4) is a relatively new strain of PCV. PCV4 was first detected in Chinese and South Korean swine herds. Recently, the Swine Health Information Center (SHIC) announced that PCV4 was detected in the United States from samples sent to Iowa State University veterinary diagnostics laboratory. PCV4 is associated with respiratory and enteric disease as well as reproductive failures. Medgene currently has ‘prescription platform’ vaccines for PCV2 and PCV3 strains and these are being used by major U.S. swine producers. However, through use of our proactive surveillance and bioinformatic technology, upon permission of the USDA, we are ready to begin production and distribution of our PCV4 vaccine. On behalf of the swine industry - thanks go to the American Association of Swine Veterinarians for posting the article and the SHIC for providing the needed information to rapidly support producers and veterinarians with prescription platform vaccines! #animalhealth #largeanimalvet #swine #swineindustry https://lnkd.in/ggaSxNt7
