Like much of Asia over the past 18 months, Vietnam has seen relatively few HPAI H5 outbreaks, a lull that may be due - at least, in part - to China's nationwide emergency vaccination of poultry 18 months ago (see EID Journal: China's H5+H7 Poultry Vaccination Program, Guangdong 2017-18).
Since last fall, however, we've begun to see a few `breakthrough' poultry outbreaks - and 4 H5N6 human infections - reported in China (see H5N6: Outbreak On Yunnan Farm & New WHO Candidate Vaccine), along with a smattering of poultry outbreaks in Vietnam (see OIE Report 1/18/19).Over the past 24 hours, Vietnamese and Chinese media have been reporting on a pair of H5N6 outbreaks in Quảng Nam Province. This translated report from baomoi.com.
