World-first bird flu vaccine for Little Penguins

A world-first vaccination program for Little Penguins begins today following the death of one penguin from Victoria's Phillip Island colony due to H5N1 bird flu. Authorities have not confirmed the exact location where the dead penguin was found, but confirmed it was not within the island's famous penguin parade area. Approximately 5,000 Little Penguins across St Kilda and Phillip Island will receive the vaccine as part of this groundbreaking immunisation effort.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
