With egg prices in the United States soaring because of the spread of H5N1 influenza virus among poultry,
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) yesterday conditionally approved a vaccine to protect the birds.
President Donald Trump’s administration may therefore soon face a fraught decision on whether to join the ranks of other nations
—including China, France, Egypt, and Mexico
—that vaccinate poultry against H5N1.
Although many influenza researchers contend that vaccination can help control spread of the deadly virus,
the U.S. government has long resisted allowing its use because of politics and trade concerns that many contend are unscientific
Note that USDA is not under the control of Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr
