Bird flu concerns mount as California reports more human cases

Summary

Nutrition label

84% Informative

As of Oct. 14 , California has had six confirmed and five possible human cases of bird flu.

All of the affected individuals reportedly had direct contact with infected cattle at nine dairy farms.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conducting tests to confirm the five possible cases.

There is not a concern at this point about human-to-human transmission.

Getting the flu vaccine makes it less likely that someone will end up with a suspected case of avian flu as a result of having the seasonal flu and a history of animal exposure.

Vaccines for bird flu are currently in development.

It is not time to vaccinate more broadly yet, given the small number of cases, absence of proven human-to-human transmission.
