The H1N1 flu epidemic created a public health emergency in 2009. It also created an opportunity for vaccine manufacturers to demonstrate that working with governments of the US and countries around the world, they could manufacture and distribute a vaccine for the virus strain that may have had an impact in reducing cases and deaths.

Who were the companies that performed best in this market? How did government contracts play out? Most importantly, what are lessons for future pandemic and high publicity vaccine products?
