The Agency for Veterinary Medicinal Products of France has approved avian influenza vaccines from Ceva Animal Health, Boehringer Ingelheim and Zoetis Animal Health.  Over 80 million doses have been ordered following satisfactory evaluation in France of the Ceva and Boehringer Ingelheim vaccines.

In recent weeks, France has depopulated 10 million commercial poultry for a total of 22 million birds lost over the 2021-2022 epornitic.  At the present time, there are no reports of incident cases. This is a similar situation to the U. S. based on the fact that migratory birds are now nesting and not as a result of depopulation of previously infected flocks. There is justifiable concern over a resurgence in outbreaks during late fall in the Northern hemisphere.
