To address this, the FairPlay Movement is hosting a webinar.

The discussion will focus on the sluggish vaccine progress, its impact on food security, and the reasons for the delays. 

A small pilot project, South Africa's first bird flu vaccine trial, is at the heart of the conversation. 

It's currently being conducted on just one chicken farm.
