Risk groups vaccinations begin – Spring migration of birds increases the risk of bird flu infants
Bird flu|Bird influenza has been observed in Turku with nails and in Taivassalo with a chicken.
Birds Spring migration increases the risk of bird flu infels, says THL, the National Institute for Health and Welfare.
The plant recommends those at risk of taking a vaccine before mass migration of birds.
The vaccine is recommended for those over 18 years of age who, for example, have an increased risk of infection due to their work. They include, among other things, keepers of fur and poultry facilities, their family members and employees of the premises
Vaccinations started for the first time last summer and are now continued in March. The vaccination series includes two doses.
Wellbeing areas are responsible for organizing vaccinations.
By vaccination According to THL, the aim is to protect people and to reduce situations where the virus could be more easily transformed into people and people.
Poultry and fur farms aim to prevent bird flu infels by various protection and hygiene measures, such as preventing wild birds into contact with fur animals.
So far, bird flu has been observed in Finland at the end of January in Turku in Naaks and in February in Taivassalo with a canal.
People have not been diagnosed with bird flu infels in Finland, but there have been them elsewhere in Europe and around the world, THL says in a news release.
