Penguins Get Norway's First bird Flu Shots
CBS News
April 21, 2006

The first birds in Norway that were vaccinated against bird flu were eight penguins. They are also said to be among the first in northern Europe to get vaccinated. Government authorization was required for the shots; they were refused at first since there had not been any outbreaks of H5N1 in Norway and the country doesn't approve of vaccine overuse. The vaccine won't guarantee that the birds won't get bird flu but it will help protect them.
