Welcome to the sanofi pasteur Pandemic Influenza web site. An influenza pandemic is a global epidemic of an especially strong and highly infectious virus, newly infectious for humans, with the potential to cause many cases of illness and death.¹

Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of sanofi-aventis Group, is the largest company in the world devoted entirely to human vaccines. We are committed to global pandemic preparedness and have begun large-scale production of the novel A/California/7/2009(H1N1) vaccine in our facilities in the United States and France. As the world leader in research, development and manufacturing of influenza vaccine, sanofi pasteur is committed to developing a vaccine to protect against a pandemic influenza virus.
