district, Ha Nam province, Vietnam.
As awareness of the outbreak spreads, many farms have worked to improve their operations including setting up systems for detecting sick ducks and chickens. Ha Nam province recently ordered 1 million doses of vaccine - hoping it may still provide a little protection, despite some fears that it may no longer be effective.
Despite all this, doctor Babatunde Olowokure, an epidemiologist with the World Health Organisation in Vietnam, ruled out an epidemic at this stage.
