Bird flu jabs on way for Viet ducks, chickens
July 20, 2005
Vietnam will use more than 400 million batches of vaccine to inoculate its chickens and ducks against the deadly bird flu that has killed 40 people in the country, half of them since December.
The deputy minister of agriculture, Bui Ba Bong, says authorities will use 415 million doses of Chinese and Dutch vaccines in a program starting in two provinces August 1. Other provinces at high risk of infection follow between October 1 and November 10 - before winter, when the virus seems to thrive.
