Bird flu outbreak in Vietnam

Vietnam confirmed that the H5N1 strain of bird flu had killed thousands of poultry in the past two weeks.

It's the first bird flu outbreak among poultry this year. Officials said they had disinfected areas surrounding the outbreaks and ordered a cull of all poultry in the area. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization in Vietnam said the dead poultry had not been vaccinated.
