The federal government will spend almost $5 million to speed up development of a bird flu vaccine for Australia, Health Minister Tony Abbott said today.
Bird flu, which arrived in Asia in late 2003, has killed 56 people there and Indonesia confirmed its first three deaths from the virus on Wednesday.
Public health experts fear the avian flu virus is mutating and could develop the ability to spread easily between humans, with the potential to kill millions in a flu pandemic.
