The U.S. Department of Agriculture has granted Zoetis conditional approval for its bird flu vaccine for poultry. This conditional license is intended for emergencies and is valid for a limited time. The approval comes as bird flu has infected nearly 70 people in the U.S., resulting in one death, primarily among farm workers. Zoetis specializes in animal healthcare, including vaccines and medicines, and received the license based on a reasonable expectation of efficacy.
