Australia Begins Bird Flu Vaccination Program for Vulnerable Penguins

Australian wildlife authorities have initiated a targeted H5N1 bird flu vaccination program for penguins to protect vulnerable populations from the global pandemic.

The preventive measure comes as experts warn that the highly pathogenic avian influenza strain is inevitable and poses an extreme risk to native bird species.

The Northern Territory government has recruited local birdwatchers and citizens to monitor coastal areas and report any unusual wildlife deaths immediately.
