POULTRY keepers say the Welsh government should make a bird flu vaccine available to avoid future outbreaks, BBC has reported.

A vaccine is already used in some countries outside of Europe.
But the government said the best protection is through scrupulous hygiene and biosecurity measures.
Poultry has been kept indoors since 02 Dec 2022 to protect them from the disease, and another housing order is expected later in the year.
Vaccination is considered a controversial solution as there isn't sufficient evidence that it has worked in the countries which have introduced it.
