Fall doesn’t just bring respiratory viruses for humans; it also brings them for animals. After a relatively quiet spring and summer, bird flu (H5N1) is back. On a national level, the USDA has seen an uptick in H5N1 detections in backyard flocks, commercial flocks, and wild birds.

Protecting yourself from bird flu is simple:
Avoid touching sick or dead birds (wild or domestic).
Avoid bird droppings.
Wash your hands regularly, especially after handling birds or coming into contact with their droppings.
Avoid consuming raw milk or raw milk products.
Contact the appropriate agency to report sick/dead birds. New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets handles domestic bird concerns., New York State Department of Environmental Conservation handles wild birds.

Hear from Dr. Sanjeev Gupta and Dr. Mukta Gupta about the life-saving ability of vaccines:

“Having trained in India, we have seen a lot of damage and deaths from many diseases which are vaccine preventable. We would encourage everyone to open a discussion with their physician in case there is any question about any vaccines.

Vaccines save lives. Protect yourself and your loved ones.”
