CDPH has detected two cases of avian influenza A (H5N1) in workers at dairy facilities with outbreaks in the Central Valley of California.
Healthcare providers should be aware of the possibility of infection with avian influenza A in symptomatic persons who may have had exposure to animals confirmed or suspected to have bird flu and report to local public health, who can provide guidance on appropriate specimen collection.
CDPH urges healthcare providers to prepare for and respond to anticipated increases in illness due to COVID-19, Influenza, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) this fall and winter season.
Immunizations for COVID-19, influenza and RSV are recommended for eligible persons this fall. All recommended respiratory vaccines may be co-administered at the same visit. In general, healthcare providers should follow CDC recommendations, and should encourage patients to receive new or updated doses of respiratory virus immunizations this fall.
Providers should encourage early testing and provide antiviral treatment for COVID-19 and influenza to eligible patients. Prioritize patients who are at higher risk for severe illness, including older adults, immunocompromised patients, those with chronic or underlying conditions, pregnant or recently pregnant individuals, and residents of skilled nursing facilities.
Healthcare providers may access CDC and CDPH respiratory virus activity and surveillance data to stay up to date with the latest trends.
Special considerations for populations at risk for avian influenza A:
Healthcare providers should consider the possibility of avian influenza A virus infection in a patient with signs and symptoms consistent with acute respiratory tract infection or conjunctivitis and history of exposure in the last 10 days to animals suspected or confirmed to have avian influenza A. For additional information on reporting suspect avian influenza, specimen collection, testing & treatment, see our September Avian Influenza A Health Advisory.
Healthcare providers should recommend that patients working with ill animals use personal protective equipment (PPE) (PDF) and suggest they get a seasonal flu vaccine.
