Would love to better understand the benefits and obstacles/constraints to mass vaccination of chickens in the US. Have read up a bit but eager to learn more

Two big constraints:
1. Efficacy. Like any vaccine, it’s not going to be 100% effective. Culls would still need to happen.
2. Bigger issue is presence in wild AND domestic birds. So you’d still have quite a bit of risk even after vaccinating all domestic flocks.

I saw this linked a week ago or so. Not sure how science has developed in the succeeding two decades
