China says it is trying to vaccinate all its billions of poultry in an
effort to combat the spread of bird flu.
"China is trying to vaccinate all poultry nationwide," Xinhua news agency
quoted State Chief Veterinarian Jia Youling as saying.
"The fees will be covered by the Government."
Mr Jia says China currently has about 5.2 billion poultry as livestock,
while the nation each year raises about 14 billion.
