An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:
China reported its first three confirmed human cases of bird flu Wednesday as the government raced to vaccinate billions of chickens, ducks and other poultry in a massive effort to stop the spread of the virus.
The World Health Organization said the victims contracted the virulent H5N1 strain of bird flu, and two of them died.
