Bird flu has been found in turkey flocks in Carlow and Meath.
Poultry farmers are being asked to get the seasonal flu vaccine to prevent the mix of bird flu and human flu.

There are detections of bird flu in turkey flocks in Counties Carlow and Meath which are being culled.
HSE Director of National Health Protection, Dr Éamonn O'Moore says if both flus mixed, it could be a problem:
