Descripción

An update of the H7N9 qualitative risk assessment (published in July 2017) is warranted to cover the highest avian influenza risk period (January to March 2018), during which several festivals take place and an increase in national and cross-border poultry movements is expected. This will be done in light of H7 nation-wide vaccination program implemented since September 2017 by the MoA of China.
