Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) Vaccination can play a valuable role in control, prevention and elimination of highly pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) viruses in poultry. However, risk of adverse consequences as well as concerns about availability of sufficient resources to conduct vaccination programmes often restrain countries from embarking on vaccination. This document discusses concerns regarding poultry vaccination for H5 HPAI, with the aim to facilitate decision making in affected countries or those at risk of H5 HP AI incursion. The document contributes to FAO’s Strategic Objective 5 by helping to increase the resilience of livelihoods to threats from HPAI.

    La vaccination peut jouer un rôle précieux dans le contrôle, la prévention et l'élimination des virus hautement pathogènes de l'influenza aviaire (IAHP) chez les volailles. Cependant, le risque de conséquences néfastes ainsi que des préoccupations concernant la disponibilité de ressources suffisantes pour mener des programmes de vaccination empêchent souvent les pays de se lancer dans la vaccination. Le présent document traite des préoccupations concernant la vaccination de la volaille pour la g rippe aviaire H5, dans le but de faciliter la prise de décisions dans les pays touchés ou à risque d'incursion d'HPAI H5. Le document contribue à l'objectif stratégique 5 de la FAO en aidant à accroître la résilience des moyens de subsistance face aux risques liés à l'IAHP.
