France kicks off bird flu vaccination despite trade backlash risk
PARIS - France began vaccinating ducks against bird flu on Monday to try and stem the virus that killed millions of birds worldwide, a move that prompted the United States to impose trade restrictions on French poultry imports.
The first shots were given on Monday morning to ducks on a farm in the Landes, a region in southwestern France, in the presence of Agriculture Minister Marc Fesneau. This means that a total of 64 million ducks at 2,700 farms will need to be vaccinated over a year for a total cost of nearly 100 million euros , of which 85% will be financed by the state, it said."This vaccination plan...is a world first: its goal is to protect all farmed birds and should put an end to the preventive slaughter of animals, which no one wants to live with anymore," the group said in a statement.
