Third H5N1 bird flu death in a month

After a two year old girl in Shanxi and a 27 year old woman in Shandong province succumbed earlier to the H5N1 virus, a 16 year old boy in Hunan province has become the third fatality recorded within a month. Chinese Health Minister Chen Zhu has called for health departments across the nation to pay "great attention" to the situation now that tens of millions of people are travelling home for the Chinese New Year.
