NIH officials assess threat of H5N1

H5N1 avian influenza is widespread in wild birds worldwide, and in 2024 is causing multistate outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows.

HPAI H5N1 avian influenza remains a low risk to most Americans, and public health experts in the United States believe that available treatments and vaccines, as well as those in development, are sufficient to prevent severe disease. However, this does not diminish concern about the virus, according to leading NIAID officials. In a commentary published in the New England Journal of Medicine, NIAID Director Jeanne M. Marrazzo and Michael G. Ison of NIAID's Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases say people should find a balance between enhanced vigilance and "business as usual" with respect to HPAI H5N1. Against this backdrop, Drs. Marrazzo and Ison say there are four keys to controlling the current outbreak: effective collaborations, vigilant disease surveillance, continued development and testing of medical countermeasures, and personal action to avoid exposure to the virus.
