As the world grapples with a rapid rise in H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is urging countries to take stronger action.
The disease has already caused the loss of hundreds of millions of birds, threatening food security, rural livelihoods, and global poultry trade.
In its March 2025 briefing, the FAO emphasized the need for improved surveillance, robust response mechanisms, and a serious consideration of poultry vaccination programs. This marks a strategic shift, recognizing that in certain contexts, vaccination can play an important role in controlling disease spread and minimizing losses.
While vaccination alone will not solve the problem, it’s becoming clear that it will be an increasingly essential component in the fight against avian influenza — especially when paired with strong biosecurity and monitoring measures.
At ThaMa-Vet, we understand that executing a successful vaccination campaign requires precision, efficiency, and operator comfort—especially when dealing with large flocks. That’s why we’ve invested in the development of advance poultry vaccination syringes that meet the highest standards of durability, ease of use, and accuracy.
Our ThaMa 222 is a double automatic all metal vaccinator that is engineered to optimize mass poultry vaccination procedures. This accurate and highly durable syringe features the ThaMa-Vet unique fixed dosage technology. Its design makes it possible to administer two different vaccines in two different dosages at once, operating between the 5 pistons of each syringe.
