According to the (CDC), as of December 13, 2024, there have been 60 confirmed cases of the disease in humans, 37 of which were transmitted from dairy cows. Since 2022, 21 cases have been transmitted from poultry (11 cases in Washington, 9 in Colorado and one in Oregon) and two cases are recorded with an unknown source (one in California, one in Missouri).

The current public health risk is considered low, with no cases of person-to-person transmission recorded. The CDC is watching the situation carefully and working with states to monitor people with animal exposures.
