State agriculture departments and state veterinarians urged USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins to authorize a voluntary pilot program to test bird flu vaccines in dairy cattle. The outbreak has infected 1,230 dairy herds across 22 states since March 2024, with Washington reporting 43 herds affected since October 8.
Vaccination could help limit transmission and reduce disruption to dairy production if authorized and shown to work. No immediate supply or price effect is established.
