About this episode
Avian influenza is a highly contagious virus that infects birds and can also be dangerous to humans. Nevertheless, while it may ruin the poultry industry, disrupting supplies and causing economic losses, there is a solution: vaccination. Vaccines play a critical role in preventing and controlling avian influenza, as they are developed to target specific virus strains and are regularly updated as new ones emerge. In this episode, Dr. Joe Giambrone discusses vaccines for avian influenza and their importance in reducing the severity of the disease and limiting its spread within bird and human populations alike.
“I think that new vaccines that can immunize birds for life will be developed." - Dr. Joseph Giambrone
