Animal Health Body Backs Bird Flu Vaccination To Avoid Pandemic
The severity of the current outbreak of avian influenza, commonly called bird flu (H5N1), has killed hundreds of millions of birds, and mammals. ''Governments should consider vaccinating poultry against bird flu, which has killed hundreds of millions of birds and infected mammals worldwide, to prevent the virus from turning into a new pandemic'', the head of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) said. The risk to humans from bird flu remains low but countries must prepare for any change in the status quo, the World Health Organization has said.
