On 26 April at 12:00 PM ET the Pandemic Center hosted a webinar titled H5N1: Gauging the Current Threat.

On 10 April, the CDC put out a Health Advisory Network message noting a human case in the United States of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), which had already reached US livestock, infecting cows in 9 different states. While advising that the risk to the public is low, the CDC, FDA, USDA, and state health departments are continually monitoring those exposed to sick animals.

In this webinar, the Pandemic Center convened a group of experts to discuss the potential impact of H5N1 and strategies to prevent and respond to negative outcomes.
