Corral bird farmers in Aviar ‘panic’ flu for the United Kingdom Vaccination Plan

A flu prevention zone has been declared flu that applies strict hygiene standards around domesticated birds for England, Wales and Scotland in the midst of a growing number of cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).

The risk for humans is still low, with chicken and safe eggs to eat if they are cooked properly, according to the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

Defra has established a working group of the interfered and poultry industry that is analyzing the potential use of vaccines, and must publish its report at the end of this year. But Corral bird farmers say things are moving too slowly.

The farmer of Essex Turkey, Paul Kelly, whose business was hit hard at the worst spring of avian flu from 2021 to 2023, told the BBC that “the foot has been taken out of the gas” when it comes to making the vaccines of Corral birds are available for the United Kingdom farmers.

“This is a bad planning, since we must be ready for another great outbreak instead of reacting to another outbreak and being behind the curve to implement vaccination,” he said.

“Aviar influenza is so pathogenic that if a farmer understands (in his flock) (he is devastating.”

So far there have been 25 agricultural outbreaks of Aviar flu since the annual winter recording season in October.

In comparison, between October 2021 and January 2022, during the worst outbreak of the United Kingdom, there were more than 70 cases in poultry or other captive birds.
