Australia to roll out bird flu vaccines for most vulnerable native birds

• On Tuesday, the government said that it had AU$2m ($1.4m, £1m) worth of vaccinations for the H5N1 strain - about 1,500 vials - with states and territories to manage the rollout.
• Australia reported its first case of the highly contagious strain in June, making it the last continent to be impacted.
• Australia is set to start inoculating at-risk native bird populations against the lethal H5N1 strain of avian influenza as the virus spreads more widely following its initial discovery in June.
