For years, Australia managed to avoid a strain of bird flu that has devastated wildlife populations and agricultural industries across much of the world.

That changed over the weekend, after authorities confirmed an infected migratory bird was discovered with H5N1 in Western Australia.

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Professor Paul Griffin, Director of Infectious Diseases at Mater Health, about what we know about the virus, the risks it poses to both humans and animals, and why authorities are urging us to roll up our sleeves for this year’s flu shot to help reduce its impact.
