GPCCI Roundtable Discussion on

"The Urgency of Avian Influenza Vaccines in the Philippines"

*Event is free of charge.

Avian Influenza (AI) remains a significant threat to the Philippines' poultry industry and public health, driven by the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus. In recent years, the country has faced recurring outbreaks, leading to disruptions in poultry production and higher food prices. The virus, spread by migrating wild birds and easily transmitted between farms, continues to affect several regions despite recovery efforts. The government has responded with measures like import bans, but the ongoing and future risks call for more sustainable actions.

The roundtable will be bringing together experts from government and the industry to discuss the urgent need for avian influenza vaccines in the Philippines. This discussion aims to explore long-term strategies, including vaccine development, to protect the poultry sector and public health from future outbreaks.
