At the AABP conference (Sept 11 to 14, 2024 in Columbus, Ohio), nearly 150 veterinarians, veterinary technicians and veterinary students who worked closely with cattle in the past 3 months were enrolled in a serosurvey for influenza A(H5). The participants also completed an online survey about animal exposures, personal protective equipment, seasonal influenza vaccination, and expected attitudes toward an H5 vaccine if one were authorized. The study is a collaboration between the CDC, the Ohio Department of Health and AABP. LINK
