No Cases of Human Infection with H5N6 Bird Flu Reported in Iran: Official

TEHRAN (Tasnim) ? ...

February, 14, 2018 - 15:49
...
Speaking to the Tasnim News Agency, Mohammad Mehdi Gouya, the director of the Health Ministry?s Center for Communicable Disease Control, said over the past two years, the H5N8 avian influenza virus has spread to a large number of poultry farms in various provinces, causing significant casualties and heavy economic losses.

The bird flu virus that has recently killed some wild birds in Iran?s northern province of Gilan is the H5N6, which is different to the previous virus (H5N8), he added.

The official further made assurances that there have been no cases of human infection with the H5N6 bird flu in the country, saying that all of the people who had contacts with the wild birds have been vaccinated.

With what I wonder? It seems unlikely they happened to have a matched vaccine for this strain of H5N6.
