Cases of the H5N1 strain of avian flu continue to rise in both humans and livestock since first reported in US dairy cattle since March 2024. Though no instances of human to human transmission have been reported yet, what is the likelihood of this happening? Based on experience with other strains of avian flu, how do experts foresee this strain potentially evolving? What is being done to halt further spread? Join us for a discussion with experts in epidemiology, infectious diseases, and veterinary medicine as we unpack these questions and more.
