The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has announced a significant shift in how it reports on the H5N1 avian influenza situation in the US. As of this week, the CDC has officially ended its emergency response to the H5N1 bird flu, transitioning monitoring and reporting back to its regular seasonal influenza programs. This decision comes after a consistent decline in new cases among humans and animals, as well as an absence of confirmed human-to-human transmission.
According to the CDC, since the start of the multistate outbreak in early 2024, there have been 70 confirmed human cases of H5N1 in the United States. Most of these infections were mild and linked to direct, unprotected contact with infected poultry or dairy cows. Only one fatality has been reported, occurring earlier this year in Louisiana. The majority of recent cases occurred on the West Coast, particularly in California and Washington. However, since late February, just six human cases have been confirmed nationwide, and none have shown signs of spreading from person to person.
On the animal front, the US Department of Agriculture has also noted a slowdown in new outbreaks. The most recent detection occurred on July 2 at a large commercial game bird farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, affecting over 29,000 birds. The latest case involving dairy cattle was reported on June 24 in Arizona, bringing the total number of affected US herds to more than 1,070 since March of last year.
The CDC now reports the number of people monitored and tested for bird flu monthly. Over 18,600 people have been monitored due to potential exposures, with more than 880 tested following direct contact with sick animals. While data on animal detections will no longer appear on the CDC website, the USDA will continue to publish those updates.
In the past week, no new human cases or animal-to-human transmission events have been confirmed. The CDC maintains that the risk to the general public remains low, but continues to watch for changes—such as clusters of human infections or viral mutations that could raise public health concerns.
There are several research efforts underway examining the potential for vaccines targeted at H5N1; the US Food and Drug Administration has approved some bird flu vaccines, but none were deployed during this outbreak. Scientific studies continue to monitor the virus for signs of adaptation that could increase its ability to infect humans or spread between people.
For listeners, the key message is that bird flu risk is minimal for the general public, but individuals who work with poultry, dairy cattle, or wild birds should remain vigilant and use recommended protective equipment. Symptoms of concern include conjunctivitis or flu-like illness after animal exposure. Consult your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms and have had recent contact with potentially infected animals.
Compared to previous weeks, the situation has further stabilized. Human and animal cases are declining, and containment measures are being scaled back in several states. Federal agencies continue active surveillance but are shifting focus toward routine public health practices rather than emergency response.
