understanding of pandemic preparedness planning and the steps being taken by the European Commission and the international community to tackle and prevent
avian influenza in wild birds and poultry. The seminar also sought to clarify technical aspects such as the difference between flu and human seasonal flu;
the different aspects of transmission and the relative properties of vaccines and anti-virals. Please find below further information, presentations and
