H5 Influenza Uncovered: Policy Shortfalls and Future Solutions

In this episode of Unplucked, members of the AAAP H5N1 Task Force join us to discuss the critical gaps in policy and preparedness surrounding the ongoing H5 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza outbreak.

 

Dr. Carol Cardona, Dr. Michelle Kromm, and Dr. Kay Russo bring frontline perspectives from veterinary medicine, public health, and industry. Together, they unpack the limitations of current pre-movement testing protocols, the need for a comprehensive national strategy, and the ripple effects of H5’s spread to new livestock species.

 

Tune in for a candid discussion on what needs to change—and fast—to protect animal health, human health, and our food supply.
