#H5N1 @CDCgov @USDA
"1. Begin vaccinating high-risk farm workers.
The FDA approved the first vaccine for #H5N1 in 2007. Two more were approved in 2013 and 2020. Rick Bright @RickABright, a former top federal health official who oversaw pandemic influenza vaccine development, said the strategic national stockpile contains several millions doses of these shots."

👏NO EATS ACT: Last night, Congress released its short-term government spending bill with a one-year farm bill extension. In a massive win for farmers and consumers, the EATS Act, which would have stripped states of their right to govern their local food systems, was left out.

🧅Lots of us are going to be cooking big meals for loved ones over the next couple months. That's not possible without the labor of farmworkers, who deserve high pay and safe, respectful working conditions.

The sale of antibiotics for livestock grew 10% from 2017-2023, jeopardizing effectiveness of these drugs for humans. Overuse of antibiotics in farm animals makes them less effective as bacteria become more resistant, leading to almost 3 million illnesses and 35,000 U.S. deaths/yr

.@USDA confirms another 13 dairy herds infected with #H5N1 #birdflu in California, bringing the state's total to 96 in just 6 weeks. Would be good to get some answers about what is going on there.
Cumulative national total: 296 in 14 states.

AMR, or Antimicrobial Resistance, is a natural phenomenon where infection-causing microorganisms (germs) such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to become resistant to the antimicrobial medicines that were designed to treat them. These antimicrobial medicines include antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals and antiparasitics.
AMR is a global health emergency, yet most patients and the public have never heard of it before. It is important that we can all play a role in protecting these life-saving medicines so they continue to work when we need them most.
We've created this short video which explains the basics of AMR.
