However, in 2011 just over no vaccine led to the avian influenza vaccination was not implemented. Ha Tinh province has made a written request to the Government, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development for assistance to the province of 2 million doses of vaccine from the national reserve and has been visible support 200,000 doses of vaccine (the vaccine only satisfies 10% of demand).

Can not neglectMorning 18-2, in Hanoi, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat met with members of the National Steering Committee against bird flu, discuss urgent measures to prevent bird flu tends direction spread over large areas. At the meeting, Mr. Hoang Van Nam, Director of Animal Health said avian influenza virus is circulating in the northern, central, central highlands.
For branch virus is circulating in the North, Central Highlands rate protection when vaccine inoculation Re-5 (China) was low, so from early 2011 this vaccine was stopped in the area use the above areas. However, Re-5 vaccine is highly effective in prevention in the South and the amount of reserves is sufficient for the whole region through 2012 should still be used.
The bird flu virus changes at two North - South along with the weather not unusual and the good management of the transportation of poultry outbreaks caused back and the epidemic is increasingly complex. Risk of bird flu spreading across the country, Veterinary procedures continue to import 100 million doses of emergency avian influenza H5N2 vaccine to serve prevention. It is expected to end in February of this vaccine in Vietnam.Previous situation complicated and potentially spread across the board, at the meeting, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat direction: the current time, priority is urgent anti-epidemic, prevent epidemic spread nor subjective negligence in prevention, health protection of people and minimize damage to livestock. Ministers asked the Animal Health Department sampled monitoring bird flu virus circulating in the outbreak as well as other regions across the country, concentrating on the basis of vaccination to control services, and coordinate with local the direction of this work, mobilizing all resources, using all measures to stop the epidemic.
According to the report of the Steering Committee members, from the beginning of the year, bird flu has hit 11 provinces and cities scattered extent. The total number of infected poultry is more than 12,000 children, of which about 5,000 were killed; 34,000 children are destroyed; had 2 deaths from H5N1 influenza infection in Kien Giang and Soc Trang.
Commenting on the epidemic in the near future, representatives of the Animal Health Department said the new outbreak has reduced but the risk of transmission is unavoidable when the weather is unusual, the control of the transport of held at the local level is weak, subjective thoughts neglect of local government and raising awareness of not good, local places to keep it secret services, who also eat livestock and poultry fall sick or die. These factors prevent bird flu spread easily ...
The most dangerous influenza A/H5N1
The Health Ministry said Vietnam has recently reported the first patient infected with influenza A/H3N2 swine influenza A/H5N1 but is now spreading from poultry and aquatic birds to humans is the most frightening and fear. Dr Nguyen Van Kinh, Director of Tropical Diseases Hospital National said A/H3N2 flu virus originated from pigs, although new, but not dangerous, usually the normal seasonal influenza. Therefore, most patients infected with influenza A/H3N2 were quickly cured when treated promptly.
So far, the world discovered about 10 cases of H3N2 swine flu strain and found no evidence of spread from person to person.
Dr Nguyen Van Kinh warning, danger and concern remains the most A/H5N1 flu spread from birds to humans. Through surveillance showed that H5N1 avian influenza is reported in 11 provinces throughout the country with tens of thousands of chickens, ducks sick. In particular, professional bodies continue to detect the water birds are breeding herds, sold in many places but have no signs or symptoms of H5N1 flu virus, but still. So this is the biggest threat.
Moreover, in the type of human flu, influenza A/H5N1 viruses have the most virulent, fast movements and high mortality risk. Within 2 months of the year, the country recorded two cases of influenza A/H5N1 they all die quickly after infection. Dr. Tran Thanh Duong, deputy director of the Department of Preventive Medicine said the A/H5N1 flu spread from birds, waterfowl infected with A/H5N1 flu virus to humans is strongly virulent virus, the mortality rate is very high.

Vietnam-Bird flu spreads to 11 localities nationwide #H5N1 #BIRDFLU

34,000 heads of poultry have been culled and 2 people have died as the H5N1 avian flu has spread to 21 districts in 11 provinces and cities across the country, said the National Steering Committee for Avian Influenza Prevention and Control.
At yesterday’s meeting to review the disease situation, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat, head of the committee, requested local authorities nationwide to take all possible measures to control, prevent and drive back the disease, with vaccination of poultry being the most important priority.
The minister asked the Ministry of Finance to facilitate the import of 50 million of doses of H5N1-Re 5 vaccine as soon as possible.
He also requested the 7 epidemic inspection teams set up several days ago to step up their mission in 48 provinces and cities and give necessary support to the 11 affected localities. These are Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri, Ha Nam, Ha Tinh, Quang Nam, Hai Duong, Hai Phong, Thai Nguyen, Bac Giang, Soc Trang and Kien Giang,
Acting head of the Ministry of Health’s Veterinary Department Hoang Van Nam warned that the avian flu virus had continuously evolved since 2003 and become more dangerous.
From 2003 to 2011, 121 people were affected by bird flu and 61 of them, or about 50%, died. In January 2012, 2 people were found to contract the H5N1 virus and both died, he said.
From 2003 to 2007, the H5N1 clade 1 virus prevailed in Vietnam, but since 2007, sub-clade 2.3.4 had appeared and existed until 2009, when sub-clade 2.3.2 was found. This sub-clade has later developed into two groups A and B.
Of the 2 groups, the former is three times more dangerous than the latter and has been found in almost all of the affected provinces and cities, while the latter has appeared in only 8 localities so far.
In the past several years, the H5N1-Re 5 vaccine was used to vaccinate poultry in the country, but since the appearance of sub-clade 2.3.2, the vaccine has been found to be not strong enough, Nam said.
China, which has also been affected by sub-clade 2.3.2, has studied a new specific vaccine, H5N1-Re 6, but the Chinese authorities have yet to allow the production of the vaccine.
Nam said in the absence of a new specific vaccine, both China and Vietnam thus had to continue to use H5N1-Re 5 to vaccinate their poultry. http://www.tuoitrenews.vn/cmlink/tuoitrenews/society/bird-flu-spreads-to-11-localities-nationwide-1.61966

Vietnam-New bird flu strain poses serious threat #H5N1 #BIRDFLU
February, 13 2012 09:59:46
The ministries of Agriculture and Rural Development and Health have warned of a possible large-scale outbreak of bird flu in the near future. Viet Nam News reporters Thu Hien and Thanh Hai talked to experts about the main causes of the disease's resurgence and prompt measures to prevent its spread.
What is the main reason for the resurgence of bird flu at this moment?
Dr. Santanu K. Bandyopadhyay, Team Leader Avian Influenza Programme, Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) in Viet Nam
In northern Viet Nam and parts of central Viet Nam, we have seen the emergence of a new strain of the bird flu virus since the beginning of 2011. This particular virus is not adequately protected by the currently available vaccines for poultry. Due to the complexity of this virus strain, the government has halted the mass vaccination of poultry since the summer of last year. So there is now a large number of vulnerable poultry populations not immune to the disease. Therefore, a disease outbreak in such a nave population will spread fast and involve huge losses to the poultry.Based on the official reports of the outbreaks in poultry that we have now, I don't immediately perceive the risk of large scale outbreaks as any greater than this time last year or the year before that. The number of outbreaks reported in poultry in the last one month is within the average of the last three years.
However, due to the reduction in vaccination coverage and the emergence of the new virus strain in the North, there is going to be greater risk period ahead.... http://vietnamnews.vnagency.com.vn/opinion/in-the-spotlight/220686/new-bird-flu-strain-poses-serious-threat.html

Vietnam-Bird flu specter rises again #H5N1 #BIRDFLU
Friday, February 10, 2012 08:20:00

Experts say greater vigilance and prompt action are needed to prevent the virus from spreading to epidemic proportions
Live chicken and ducks sold illegally on Truong Dai Bridge in Ho Chi Minh City’s Go Vap District. Experts have urged better vigilance among fowl farmers and traders to avoid bird flu outbreaks.
Le Thi Bay raises dozens of chickens in her back yard that are slaughtered on special occasions like the death anniversary of ancestors.
She has never had the fowls vaccinated against bird flu, except once several years ago when local authorities offered free vaccinations for chickens and ducks following an epidemic of the H5N1 virus.
“It’s only a couple of chickens. Many others who breed small number of chickens at their house also don’t have them vaccinated,” said the retired midwife in Long An Province’s Chau Thanh District.
Just before the Tet (January 23) festival, she gave her relative in Ho Chi Minh City two chicken who brought them back alive although it is illegal to transport live fowl into the city. The chickens were later slaughtered for a meal as an offering to deceased ancestors – a traditional ritual conducted on the third day of the lunar year.
The rearing, consuming and gifting of chicken is common practice. This has prompted experts to warn of low awareness of the dangers posed by bird flu that claimed two lives last month - an 18-year-old man in Kien Giang and 26-year-old woman in Soc Trang province.
“Many farmers have ignored the crucial preventive measure of vaccination and often panicked once bird flu spreads,” said Nguyen Xuan Binh, director of the Animal Health Agency No. 6 (The agency monitors animal health issues in HCMC and the provinces of Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan, Dong Nai, Binh Phuoc, Binh Duong, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Long An, Tien Giang, Ben Tre and Tay Ninh).
Duc, owner of a large chicken farm in Long An, said only those breeding thousands of chickens at a time like him have their fowls vaccinated because the possible damage is significant.
A vet in Long An, who wanted to remain unnamed, pointed out that it was dangerous for farmers to ignore vaccination or refuse to cull diseased fowls.
“Many farmers go to local veterinary medicine shops to buy bird flu vaccine. After learning that the vaccine is only sold at the provincial animal health department that is far away, they just ignore the vaccination,” he said, adding that the vaccine should be sold through private vet medicine shops for better prevention against the disease.
He said that during the spread of bird flu over the past years, many farmers refused to hand the animals to local animal health authorities for culling just because of some delay.
“The government has supported farmers who have culled diseased chickens. The support per chicken is sometimes higher than the market price but the farmers still sold their fowls for quick money,” he said.
Risky trade
Meanwhile, the illegal trade of live chickens and ducks in HCMC thrives, posing a greater risk of the spread of the H5N1 virus.
A quick tour around the city found live chickens and ducks being sold at many places, including Le Duc Tho, Ben Xom Cui, Pham Hung and Pham The Hien streets in Go Vap District and District 8.
Phan Xuan Thao, director of the HCMC Animal Health Agency, said the city has formed a mobile task force including the traffic police, market watchdogs, animal health agency and youth volunteers to act against illegal fowl trading on the streets.
“However, local authorities should monitor those places more closely because they often resume trading of live fowls soon after we leave,” he said.
With just four stations at entry points into the city, Thao said they can only inspect the transport of big consignments of fowl. It is difficult to monitor small loads, he said.
Bird flu first hit Vietnam in 2003 and it has killed and led to the forced culling of millions of fowls in Vietnam. A total of 119 human cases had been confirmed as of March 2011, including 59 fatalities.
On February 5, the Department of Animal Health confirmed a recurrence of bird flu in the Mekong Delta province of Soc Trang after 90 chickens in My Xuyen District’s Ngoc Dong Commune died and tested positive for the disease.
Soc Trang was the third province, after Thanh Hoa and Quang Tri in the north-central region, to report the recurrence of bird flu this year.
Virulent virus
Experts have stressed the need for multiple preventive measures because even vaccinated fowl may contract the virus.
“Poultry producers and the general public should always take simple precautions to reduce exposure to the virus from infected poultry,” the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a statement.
“These include extra vigilance in cases of sudden disease and death in poultry, rapid reporting of disease to the authorities and good hygiene practices while handling, slaughtering and preparing poultry for consumption,” the statement said.
There is no evidence to suggest yet that this new strain of the virus, spotted in August last year, carries any increased risk to human health, it added. EDIT: BULLSHIT
The antigenic variant that still belongs to clade 2.3.2.1 genetically, was first detected in Vietnam in January 2011, and had been confirmed only in two northern provinces by July 2011.
“A vaccine is required for protection of poultry against the antigenic variant detected within the clade 2.3.2.1. The work on this has already started in leading laboratories. Fortunately this 'variant' virus within the new clade 2.3.2.1 is having limited geographical circulation among poultry at the moment,” the statement said. EDIT: BULLSHIT
Santanu Bandyopadhyay, senior technical coordinator at FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) Vietnam, said the high pathogenic avian influenza virus circulating in Vietnam since 2003/04 is already very virulent for poultry.
“There are some viruses within this new 2.3.2.1 (strain) in Vietnam from which poultry could not be protected at all by the current vaccine. Just remember that this new clade including the non-protectable 'rogue' viruses are in the north only so far,” he said.
“The current vaccine is able to protect poultry against the majority of the viruses in the new clade 2.3.2.1 and also the existing clade 1, if properly vaccinated,” he said, adding that the new vaccine for poultry may take between 6 months to 2 years to develop with all safety and protection parameters completed as per international protocol.

VIETNAM-Recurrence of bird flu, fears the new strain of virus changes
02/09/2012 06:24Slaughter poultry of unknown origin is a risk of epidemic spread
(Inspector) - Bird flu (CGC) has made two recurrent deaths from the beginning of the year. Concerns about new varieties of the virus appear, while Vietnam has not yet injected vaccines to prevent diseases that fit this risk increases.The risk of a widespread outbreak of a new
Veterinary Department (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), said in the last 4 weeks (from 01/10/2011 - 07/02/2012), CGC nationwide outbreaks in three provinces of Soc Trang, Quang Tri and Thanh Hoa. Specifically, in Soc Trang, service occurred on 400 chickens a 45-day-old farmers Abbot Village, Ngoc Dong Xuyen to 90 children fall ill and die. Meanwhile, an outbreak in the village of Hai Tho, Hai Lang district and Rural Retreat, Trieu Phuoc commune, Trieu Phong district, Quang Tri province has a total of over 1,300 infected ducks and dead poultry. With Thanh Hoa, from 01.19.2011 to date, CGC has been translated in 7 happening farmers of two villages Phuc Hai, People Power Xa commune, Trieu Son district 292 infected birds, dead. The whole bird is 2463 the 2 villages were destroyed.
Currently, the country was three provinces of Soc Trang, Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri has translated CGC less than 21 days. In this situation, the Animal Health Department has provided 1 million doses of vaccine for Thanh Hoa, 1 million doses of the Quang Tri and 5 million doses to Soc Trang to help the local outbreak vaccination enclosure. At the same time, direct the local Veterinary Department to deploy anti-epidemic measures as prescribed.
Deputy Director Animal Husbandry Department Nguyen Thanh Son said that the level of service on the CGC's current three provinces not serious. However, at this time last year, the province does not have service. This year, getting only three provinces, the number of dead poultry, but not many have two human cases and 2 cases were fatal. The Health Ministry has not formally concluded yet watch out racial motivation of the H5N1 virus seems more powerful. Therefore, we are very worried because this may signal a new outbreak occurred on a large scale if we do not control the time and concurrently with the risk of new varieties.Should follow the recommendations of the Ministry of Health
Before his eyes the Son, to take samples and analyze the dynamics of the virus occurred in the area 3 provinces are other translated CGC see what it was last, with a death rate of poultry how to make ...
be more flexible measures in prevention services. Focus drastically suppresses outbreaks in three provinces and cities. Particularly in Soc Trang, should temporarily ban movement of poultry from infected areas until the end of service announcement, to prevent the spread of the western provinces. On the other hand, provide enough doses of vaccine to vaccinate; injection complement the Cuu Long River Delta provinces.
