Vaksindo highlights global call for unified action against avian influenza

“To maintain consumer trust and ensure food safety, we must prioritize transparency, collaboration, and proactive disease management,” said Dr Prajitno.

“Science must be the foundation of all decision-making,” he stressed.

In his presentation, Dr Prajitno highlighted the importance of comprehensive surveillance of virus mutations, the use of genetic and antigenic analysis, antigenic cartography, antigenic crystallography, and vaccination programs with antigenically matched strains.

By regularly monitoring virus evolution and adjusting vaccination strategies accordingly, the industry can stay one step ahead in disease control while maintaining public confidence in poultry products.

Vaksindo supports joint initiative of WEO and IPC

Vaksindo also expressed its support for the joint position by the World Egg Organization (WEO) and IPC, which affirms that vaccination is a legitimate, science-based tool to combat highly pathogenic AI, and not a barrier to trade.

As part of both the national and global animal health ecosystem, Vaksindo fully supports this joint initiative. The company believes that controlling AI cannot rely solely on trade restrictions. Instead, a science-based approach—including vaccination—must be recognized as an essential component of a comprehensive control strategy.

By supporting the WEO and IPC positions, Vaksindo reaffirms its commitment to driving innovation, collaboration, and sustainable solutions in safeguarding poultry health and ensuring food security.
