Bird flu reported at Washington egg farm as cases spike
Briefly

"We don't have evidence yet of transmission between people," said Roberto Bonaccorso, spokesperson for Washington's health department, indicating early signs of concern but no confirmed human-to-human spread.
Officials in California and Washington are administering seasonal flu vaccines to farm workers to mitigate risk from both bird flu and seasonal influenza, indicating a proactive public health response.
The four confirmed cases from Washington experienced mild symptoms and were treated with antiviral medication, revealing existing protective gear protocols were not fully consistent at the commercial egg farm.
The increase in bird flu cases among workers raises the alarm amid the virus's unusual spread to dairy cattle, which could complicate public health management and heighten pandemic risks.
