Bird flu is now a threat to many of the countries. In my opinion, I think everyone has a part to play to prevent bird flu from entering an even worsen stage.

There are quite a number of measures that we can take to prevent bird flu. For the most basic and common measure, it is to prevent ourselves from having contact with the birds, as the birds can carry the virus, But it is still does not mean that you will not bird flu just by prevent having contact with them, because that there are other ways that we can be infected.

I think a more safe and efficient measure is to get vaccine inject into us. Research is proven that there are two drugs, Tamiflu and Relenza,
that can help in preventing bird flu. Having this vaccine, it will decrease our worries of getting infected. It can also improve our immune system to defend the virus. But again getting vaccine injected is not 100 percent guarantee that we will not get bird flu. As research also find out that they might not be good enough to help if the situation becomes pandemic.

Other measures that we can take are to prevent going to infected countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and China, and eat nutritious foods to build up our immune system. I strongly agree with this measure as I think that our natural defence is the best to prevent us infected. If we have a strong immune system, then we should not be afraid or worried of bird flu as our bodies can defend it naturally, and there will no be a need to take so many measures to prevent bird flu.
