What are the best ways to prevent the avian flu?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Great question: Avian flu has been a concern for a long time but how to prevent it is a monumental issue as birds travel all over the world in migration patterns. Luckily, there have been very few cases of human avian flu and most of these are from asia where people live with their livestock (including chickens, ducks, etc.). Best way - good hygiene and when the avian flu vaccine comes out - get it if you can.

Vaccine: Get vaccinated. Avoid contact with sick or dead birds.
