The US is exploring the possibility of vaccinating laying chickens to mitigate the effects of the ongoing avian influenza outbreak. As egg prices surge, any measures to stabilize the market could be considered. However, concerns over animal welfare and potential economic implications must be addressed. Vaccination may also raise public health risks, particularly if the virus can be transmitted to humans through contaminated eggs or poultry products. A thorough evaluation of these factors is necessary before making a decision on vaccinations for laying chickens.
