Chinese health authorities report a human case of avian influenza A(H5N6) in a 81-year-old female farmer from Changzhou of Jiangsu Province.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, little has been met with more anticipation (or hesitancy) than the promise of a COVID-19 vaccine. However, by mid-November 2020, less than a year after SARS-CoV-2 gained global recognition as a public health threat, this “promise” has moved from speculation to possibility, and the news has everyone talking.
The Epidemiology and Disease Control Division of the Nepal Ministry of Health and Population confirmed Thursday the first human fatality due to H5N1 avian influenza infection.
