Farmworkers, particularly those in the dairy industry, are at high risk of exposure to the bird flu virus, with concerns that the virus could mutate and potentially spark a pandemic. However, testing efforts are lacking among farmworkers due to barriers such as lack of health insurance and paid sick leave. Advocates are calling for increased monitoring and testing to track infections and ensure the virus does not spread further, especially among vulnerable populations with limited resources.
