MONTPELIER - #Vermont agriculture officials say the state’s milk supply is #safe. It comes after new federal #regulations requiring #dairycattle moving between states to be #tested for the #birdflu virus.
It came as health #officials said they had detected #inactivated remnants of the #virus known as Type A #h5n1 in samples taken from #milk during #processing and from #storeshelves.

The agency stressed that the material is #inactivated and that the findings "do not represent actual virus that may be a risk to consumers." Officials added that they're continuing to study the issue.

The governing board of #Gavi, the international organization that provides #vaccines to #developing #countries, added a new shot to its roster this week that could help to #eradicate #polio worldwide and prevent its resurgence.
The new vaccine does not contain the live viruses that are in the polio vaccines currently used in some low- and middle-income countries. It adds what’s known as an #inactivated #polio component into a multifaceted shot that is already being used to protect young children against five other dangerous infections. A similar shot is already available in the United States and some European countries.
