Canary Islands councilor for health, María del Mar Julios, announced there is absolutely no cause for bird’ flu alarm in this region. Already stockpiled in the Canaries are 80,000 doses of the antiviral medicine, while the seasonal flu jabs for members of the population considered to be in risk categories is very much an ongoing campaign.
