Officials question U.S. bird flu preparations
A teaser:
WASHINGTON — U.S. state health officials are questioning how the nation would deal with the huge demand for a vaccine during a flu pandemic when it already has trouble vaccinating the public against the regular flu.
The administration invited state and homeland security officials to Washington on Monday to get their feedback on pandemic planning, and to announce that it would visit every state in the country over the next 120 days to reinforce the work.
The state officials noted that demand for a vaccine during a pandemic would soar far beyond what the nation experiences each winter with regular flu, yet throughout the country, doctors report an inability to get their hands on the vaccine.[/teaser]
Amazing how a country like America can not have enough flu vaccines on hand. Mind boggling. Do they spend all their money on the military instead?

B.C. farms declared free of bird flu
A teaser:
The federal food watchdog has lifted a quarantine on dozens of poultry farms in British Columbia's Fraser Valley, saying they are free of avian influenza.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials said Saturday that 21 days of testing turned up no sign of the disease on about 80 chicken and duck farms that had been quarantined.
The measure was originally imposed as a precaution after a low-pathogenic strain of the H5N2 virus was detected in November at a duck farm near Chilliwack and another near Abbotsford. [/end of teaser]
Well that is good news.
