The Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA), part of the European Commission (EC), has selected Australian drugmaker CSL Ltd’s (ASX: CSL) subsidiary CSL Seqirus to provide 665,000 pre-pandemic vaccine doses for 15 European Union and European Economic Area (EEA) member states as well as to the "Union Civil Protection Mechanism" (rescEU).

In addition, the four-year contract includes an option for participating authorities to purchase up to an additional 40 million doses of the pre-pandemic vaccine over the life of the contract.
