avian flu pandemic preparedness

Avian flu pandemic preparedness involves planning and actions to prevent and control the spread of bird flu viruses that could infect humans. This includes monitoring bird populations for outbreaks, developing vaccines and antiviral treatments, and establishing protocols for rapid response. Public health agencies work to inform communities, improve healthcare readiness, and coordinate with farms and wildlife officials. The goal is to reduce transmission, protect vulnerable populations, and minimize the impact of a potential pandemic through early detection, effective communication, and shared resources. Preparedness ensures a swift, organized effort to safeguard public health if an outbreak occurs.
