HPAI H5N1: are we being set up for a NEW pandemic like COVID, based on this recent Eurosurveillance publication of avian bird flu transmitted from wild birds to group of mink on a farm in Spain?

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus infection in farmed minks; if this is an actual issue, would annual influenza vaccine & original antigenic sin (OAS (imprinting) cause problems?
Flu vaccine and OAS must be considered as to a detrimental ‘susceptible immune evasion’ role if pathogenic influenza emerges.
