This is a poultry vaccine. It's very unclear in the article whether it's for birds or humans. There is hot debate whether vaccinating birds is a good approach in the long run. It keeps the chickens alive but it doesn't prevent them from becoming infected. By some estimates 1% to 15% of all poultry sold in Chinese "wet markets" is infected with H5N1 while still appearing healthy because of vaccination.
The fears are 1) because the birds appear OK there is more chance for contact w/ humans, leading to illness and 2) because the birds live longer there is greater chance they will get dual infection with H5N1 and a H3 flu, increasing the risk for genetic re-assortment.
The Indians are just proud of themselves. There are numerous poultry H5N1 vaccines...if things get bad enough you may get inoculated with one before this is all over.
