Turkey birds test positive
The recent cases of suspected bird flu in Turkey, which prompted the EU to ban poultry imports from Turkey, have tested positive for H5N1.
Update: Sky News are reporting that based on this outbreak in Turkey that the EU is recommending that all EU citizens should be vaccinated against H5N1. Of course there is currently no vaccine... So not sure what they expect to happen.
Clarification: They are telling everyone to get the normal flu jab.
