Ministry requests acceleration of bird flu vaccination

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has asked localities, agencies and farmers to strictly observe bird flu inoculation regulations to ensure that all poultry is vaccinated.

Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Bui Ba Bong told a recent meeting that vaccination against H5N1 virus is the most efficient measure in preventing bird flu, as more than 90 percent of affected poultry are not vaccinated or inadequately vaccinated.

The Prime Minister in June decided not to provide financial assistance for those bird flu-hit farmers who did not observe regulations on vaccination against the deadly virus.

In an effort to prevent the spread of bird flu, the MARD also requested veterinary agencies at localities to closely monitor and grant quarantine certificates for the transportation of poultry.

Vietnam is recognised as one of the world?s most successful nations in fighting bird flu and is no longer an epidemic centre in Southeast Asia .

With efforts made by localities and agencies, bird flu has been no longer widespread and total losses caused by the deadly virus has decreased, even though the epidemic has still recurred annually since it appeared in the country for the first time in 2003.

So far this year, bird flu outbreaks have only occurred on a small scale among flocks of unvaccinated poultry. (VNA)

The FAO official also called on concerned agencies to be cautious when making any change to the strategy and pay more attention to developing human resources in response to the disease in case it becomes a pandemic.

Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Bui Ba Bong said bird flu outbreaks have become limited to small flocks of fowls that have not yet been vaccinated in line with requirements.

Vietnam may produce bird flu vaccines for humans late next year
www.chinaview.cn 2008-08-22 13:45:31

HANOI, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam plans to make vaccines against bird flu virus strain H5N1 for humans in late 2009 after successful trials, according to local newspaper Pioneer on Friday.

A dose of the vaccine, developed by a local company named Vabiotech under Vietnam's National Hygiene and Epidemiology Institute, will have a selling price of some 30,000 Vietnamese dong (1.8 U.S. dollars).

The vaccine, called Fluvax, has been tested on local volunteers, and then proved effective. The health of the volunteers is good.

Vietnam has confirmed a total of 106 human cases of bird flu infections, including 52 fatalities, in 36 cities and provinces since bird flu started to hit the country in December 2003.

Since late 2003, the disease has killed and led to the forced culling of dozens of millions of poultry in Vietnam.
