Registration and manufacturing of a poultry vaccine with the new seed strain is in progress.

Back in July of 2011, there was this report on Re-5, and Re6, for 2.3.2:

Especially the branch of this new virus was quickly converted and developed into two branches, there are big differences on the Antigen. Branch 1 circulating widely in almost all over the province and branch 2 was only discovered in two provinces of Vietnam and the Pacific. More worrying, the Bureau's test results on the effect of animal health-vaccin H5N1 showed protective effects on Re5 for this new branch of virus is very low, almost no effect.
