The Poultry Veterinary Study Group of the EU
1st March 2023
Dear Sir/Madam,
On behalf of The Poultry Veterinary Study Group of the EU please find, linked below, our position paper entitled "Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza and vaccinal strategy implementation".
The Poultry Veterinary Study Group of the EU in its previous position paper ‘Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza and sustainability of the global poultry industry’ proposed that governments and industry should seriously consider the options to use modern vaccines to control Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) particularly as in some circumstances the classical approach of management of this disease (i.e., diagnosis, stamping out and eradication) alone , is no longer socially and economically acceptable to poultry producers and wider stakeholders.
The attached paper summarises PVSGEU's current position on the use of vaccination to control HPAI.
Yours Sincerely
Dr. Eva Berndtson
President of PVSGEU
