Misiune inedită: vaccinarea a 5.000 de pinguini. „E prima oară când cineva a încercat așa ceva”

A mass vaccination program for 5,000 penguins is underway on Phillip Island, Australia, to combat avian influenza. This unprecedented initiative has already vaccinated 1,000 blue penguins, with plans for 4,000 more. The program aims to prevent the spread of the disease after the first death in the species was reported. Penguins are not only beloved creatures but also play a significant economic role in the region, attracting around 700,000 visitors annually, contributing $500 million to Victoria's economy.
