CPD for this activity

In this episode:

H5N1 is a highly pathogenic avian flu affecting birds globally, with a higher mortality rate than COVID-19 but limited human-to-human spread
Australia is the only continent without H5N1 cases, with strong pandemic preparedness, including antivirals and vaccine stockpiles
At-risk groups include poultry workers and dairy farmers; exposed individuals should be tested, treated with antivirals, and reported to authorities
Symptoms include respiratory and early GI issues; conjunctivitis has been common in U.S. dairy workers
Australia’s new CDC has improved outbreak notification systems, using lessons learned from COVID-19
