  1. Influenza Vaccine Manufacturing Industry Perspective for 2014-15 NH Vaccine Supply The FDA CBER requested this annual summary of information from influenza vaccine manufacturers supplying the U.S., for purposes of a general presentation to the VRBPAC. This summary has been prepared  from a variety of public sources, and was reviewed by AstraZeneca, bioCSL, GSK, Novartis, Protein Sciences, and Sanofi Pasteur.

  2. 2013-14 Influenza Vaccines • ~134 million doses distributed through 31 January 2014 and in line with 2012-13 season1 • Transition to quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) began during 2013-14 season with QIV volume ~20% of total doses • QIV volume will likely increase to over 50% for the 2014-15 season • As the variety of influenza vaccines has increased in recent years, healthcare providers are choosing different presentations for different patients • Timely strain selection by VRBPAC in February 2013 was very helpful • Challenges • A(H3N2) recommendation was “an H3N2 virus antigenically like the cell-propagated prototype virus A/Victoria/361/2011” (clarified for WHO 2014 SH and 2014-15 NH recommendations) Source: 1http://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/vaccination/vaccinesupply.htm (as of 12 Feb 2014) Industry Comments, VRBPAC 28 February 2014

  3. Vaccination Rates in 2012-13 Higher than in 2011-12 Source: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/fluvaxview/coverage-1213estimates.htm (as of 12 Feb 2014) Overall immunization rate of 45% for individuals 6 months of age and older during the 2012-13 season Significant increase in the 6 months - 17 years of age group (to 56.6%) Slight increase in the 18 years of age and older group (to 41.5%) Industry Comments, VRBPAC 28 February 2014

  4. Total Cumulative Influenza Vaccine Claims in 2013-14 Higher than in 2012-13 ~6% Data suggest 2013-14 immunizations are up ~6% vs. prior year Source: IMS Health Custom Study, Medical Claims Data, Week Ending 25 Jan 2014 Industry Comments, VRBPAC 28 February 2014

  7. Influenza Vaccine ManufacturingCritical Factors • Global timing of strain selection ensures large vaccine supply • Available time to manufacture influenza vaccine is determined by • Need to distribute & administer vaccine well before the peak season • Availability of last vaccine strain • To ensure timely availability of influenza vaccine, manufacturing of at least one strain starts at risk before VRBPAC recommendations • Productivity of the least productive monovalent strain determines supply quantity • Availability of potency test reagents • Complex process to prepare and standardize potency reagents for new strains • Linked to global timing of strain selection for new strains • Availability of calibrated reagents determines start of influenza vaccine formulation Industry Comments, VRBPAC 28 February 2014

  8. Vaccine Strains under Evaluation for2014-15 NH Vaccine • A(H1N1): A/California/7/2009-like • A/California/7/2009 and reassortants (IIV and LAIV) • A/Christchurch/16/2010 and reassortants (IIV) • A/Brisbane/10/2010 and reassortants • A(H3N2): A/Victoria/361/2011 cell-derived-like • A/Texas/50/2012 and reassortants (IIV and LAIV) • A/New York/39/2012 and reassortants • A/Almaty/2958/2013 and reassortants Industry Comments, VRBPAC 28 February 2014

  9. Vaccine Strains under Evaluation for2014-15 NH Vaccine • B Yamagata lineage • B/Massachusetts/2/2012 and reassortants (IIV and LAIV) • B Victoria lineage • B/Brisbane/60/2008 and reassortants (IIV and LAIV) • B/Hong Kong/259/2010 and reassortants (IIV) • B/Nevada/3/2011 and reassortants (IIV and LAIV) • B/Texas/2/2013 and reassortants Industry Comments, VRBPAC 28 February 2014

  10. Industry Agency Shared Responsibility for Successful Influenza Vaccine Production & Supply • Communication • Continued timely sharing of surveillance and candidate virus information • Bi-weekly WHO teleconferences key in challenging situations • Strain selection • Timely review and selection of the appropriate viral strains • Balanced consideration of strain surveillance, selection timing, and impact to vaccine availability • Virus and reagent availability • Early access of all reassortant labs (NYMC, NIBSC, bioCSL, AstraZeneca, etc) to wild-type viruses • Opportunity for manufacturers to evaluate growth characteristics of potential strain candidates • Availability of potency test reagents for new strains by June • Vaccine approval and release • Timely approval of annual license supplement • In-season lot review and release process Industry Comments, VRBPAC 28 February 2014
