As this article discusses, there may be a possible vaccine available to protect people against bird flu (at least down the road).

From
the article: “The vaccine might protect people against the mutation
that would change the H5N1 avian flu virus from a germ affecting mostly
birds to one that infects people easily, the NIAID’s Dr. Gary Nabel and
colleagues report in Friday’s issue of the journal Science.”

According
to a representative from the National Association of Chickens “This
vaccine may be good for people, but how about helping us?”
