Avian flu causes mass injuries and fatalities

Australian authorities have announced that they will begin vaccinating bird species affected by the H5 strain of avian influenza. After the first case was detected on the mainland in June, when a migratory brown pelican was found infected, and due to a widespread die-off of wild birds, the government is focusing on vaccinating captive birds. Vaccinating wild birds poses challenges because it requires administering two doses. Projections indicate an increase in mass die-offs, especially among water, shoreline, and marine birds, with the number of birds suspected of or confirmed to be infected reaching 231. No cases have been recorded in the poultry sector.
