Bac Lieu at risk of bird flu outbreak
BAC LIEU — Officials have warned that bird flu is likely to recur in the southern province of Bac Lieu because local authorities have been unable to vaccinate ducks being reared on paddy fields against the H5N1 virus.
According to the provincial Department of Animal Health, around 30,000 ducks have been bred on paddy fields where the rice has been harvested.— VNS
