The US Department of Agriculture has given conditional approval to Zoetis’ bird flu vaccine for use in poultry, following a recent outbreak that has infected nearly 70 people in the US. This comes as the Wyoming Department of Health reported its first human case of H5N1 bird flu, making it the third confirmed instance of hospitalization related to the infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the risk to the general public is low. The approval was granted based on safety and efficacy, with a conditional license issued for emergencies or special circumstances. This marks a rebuild of a stockpile of bird flu vaccines for poultry that match the circulating virus strain.
