To the Editor
In their commentary article, ‘The imperative to develop a human vaccine for the Hendra virus in Australia’, Zahoor and Mudie (1) argue the case for a human Hendra virus (HeV) vaccine. The statements supporting their arguments are incorrect and have the potential to cause confusion and ultimately undermine confidence in current evidence-based risk management strategies, thereby pla-cing equine and human lives at risk.To the Editor
