Ha Tinh faces H5N1 bird flu threat

HA NOI (VNS) ? Ha Tinh Province faces a high risk of the spread of the H5N1 avian flu due to inadequate community awareness and determination of local authorities to prevent its transmission.
...
Phu Loc People's Committee Vice-Chairman Nguyen Xuan Chuong said that breeders' awareness was inadequate, especially regarding vaccination.

Just 2,000 of the commune's 10,000 poultry birds have been vaccinated in 2015. This showed that the local authority and the people were not yet involved in disease prevention in the area, Chuong said.

The division also said the poultry vaccination rate was low, at more than 12 per cent in the province. The rates were even lower in several districts, such as three per cent in Can Loc; and two per cent in Thach Ha. There is, thus, a very high risk of the spread of the H5N1 virus in the coming months.
