Identification of and Response to Influenza A(H5) in Off-the-Shelf Raw Milk—Santa Clara County, California, November–December 2024
In November-December 2024, the County of Santa Clara Public Health Department detected influenza A and A(H5) virus in unpasteurized milk sold in the county. A(H5N1) virus surveillance of off-the-shelf unpasteurized milk led to early detection and recall of potentially infectious products that prompted state agencies' verification and subsequent regulatory action.
