MOSCOW, August 17 (RIA Novosti) - A poultry vaccination is needed in affected Russian regions to prevent people from contracting bird flu, the director of the Russian Poultry Veterinary Institute said.

"Russia has supporters and opponents of vaccination," Eduard Dzhavadov said. "Each side is giving its pros and cons. Unfortunately, our opinion [of the necessity] to carry out vaccination near the affected regions differs from that of some statesmen."

He said his institute wanted to protect people, not birds.

Dzhavadov also said most European organizations are against the vaccination of birds.
