Die Situation mit der H5N1-"Vogelgrippe" ist besorgniserregend– unglaublich viele Vögel (einschl. Nutzgeflügel) sind in 🇩🇪 bereits an dem Virus verendet oder mussten gekeult werden. Auch Säugetiere (Stichwort: Rinder) können sich anstecken.

Noch einmal zur Vogelgrippe– eine Impfung von Geflügel gegen den H5N1-Erreger könnte Tierverluste, wirtschaftlichen Schaden aber auch die Virusausbreitung eindämmen.
