Does "exist" mean "approved for Influenza A" or "approved for any indication" or "in development for any indication"?

There needs to be both human cases and human to human transmission for this question to be activated. There have already been approximately 10 cases of H5N1 in humans in the last 15 months. Human to human transmission is a major evolutionary leap but certainly not out of the cards.

@BTE No one has bet yet so I will modify the description.
