#Risk of Highly Pathogenic Avian #Influenza A #H5N1 Virus in #Pediatrics

Abstract

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A/H5N1 Virus has been found in multiple US states since 2024. While human infection risk is currently low, children are a high-risk group for severe infection as the virus evolves. Preventive efforts should prioritize children in vaccine and therapeutic clinical trials and vaccine implementation strategies.
