Wild Australian species to be vaccinated against deadly H5N1 bird flu

Australia will vaccinate endangered wild animals against the H5N1 bird flu to prevent its spread. The country has not yet recorded any cases of this strain, but experts believe it will eventually arrive. The government has allocated $63.7 million for biosecurity and health measures. Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek emphasized that the strain could have severe effects on wildlife, though it’s unclear if species like koalas and kangaroos will be affected. Authorities will target species most vulnerable to the virus for vaccination.
