Nam Nguyen: Dear Dr., H5N1 virus causing the disease to the baby in Thanh Hoa and poultry in Thai Nguyen in the force are signs of genetic change or not?

Dr. Van Register: We regularly monitor, Till now they have not recorded changes in the virus, vaccines immunized H5N1 in China is still good. Presently the epidemiology also told we are not seeing what the change.
This is a case of people exposed to the thousand-thousand dead infected, was able to eat thousand patients had been infected.
It occurred in a mountainous district, people do not know about the dangers of the disease, they are ideal for these types of disease occur frequently, because the disease also focused blood dead poultry, they do not know the risk insurance by avian influenza should be spread the disease. In case of other people and that process is not thoroughly to happen like this.

The training, border control and the direction gắt gao

Nam Nguyen: Dear Dr., Bùng the TQ and the strong and death, chickens, eggs and viscera carry through the northern border is not controlled through a lot, can bring down the plain. According to the measures to prevent thoroughly to have or not?

For control, especially in the provinces bordering the region, we have assigned to the units directly implement quarantine border. In the public power has guided gắt Gao to prevent problems related to production poultry products from TQ.

In the content of electricity has gắt Gao guidance to prevent problems related to poultry products from TQ.

Nam Nguyen: Dear in the upcoming festival season, the transport trade and consumption of poultry products will be as big. He has what advice to business and consumers?

Dr. Van Register: We often say that food should feed the birds are the source and the warning is to have the control. We will set up the system italy animals associated with the department of commerce, health care will control the food.

Point is we ask the local with the central established that many test speed control issues quarantine, and then issues prevent disease.

I think that quarantine is only one part only, but the problem is not influenza vaccination can cause recurrence of the new outbreak. We also request the local to review methods of vaccination, the vaccines are now fully comfortable, ready to provide local vaccination requirements for a better immunity.
