Dr. Barb Petersen, Texas veterinarian first reported bird flu in cows in early March. " At the same time, on almost every farm with sick animals, Petersen said she saw sick people, too. “We were actively checking on humans,” Petersen said. “I had people who never missed work, miss work.” Petersen said some workers had symptoms consistent with flu: fever and body aches, stuffy nose or congestion. Some had conjunctivitis, the eye inflammation detected in the Texas dairy worker diagnosed with bird flu. Dr. Gregory Gray, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, has been taking samples from livestock and people on two Texas farms. On farms with confirmed cattle infections, there have also been reports of mild illnesses among the workers, he said."
I'm ready for my emergency bird flu vaccination. Where do I sign up?
Thank you Dr. Karan.

It's not a matter of if, just a matter of when. Largely thanks to the breeding grounds that is the animal husbandry industry.
Love that bs
