Multiple countries have reported outbreaks of avian influenza, or bird flu, in their poultry and wild bird populations. Several countries also have confirmed cases of people who have been infected with avian flu. No cases have occurred in the U.S. in either birds or humans. The World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention track countries that are affected by bird flu.
The University of Michigan has developed comprehensive plans for protecting the safety and well-being of our students, staff and faculty in the event of large-scale flu infections or any other major epidemic of an infectious disease. We do not have any reason to believe such an epidemic is likely at this time. However, ordinary varieties of flu affect millions of people worldwide each year, and other infectious illnesses increase in frequency during the winter months. Individuals can take measures to help reduce the spread of illness.
The links below provide information about the flu and resources for vaccination, prevention and treatment.
