The H5N1 avian influenza virus has killed tens of millions of birds and more than 40,000 sea lions and seals.
Only three people in the US have tested positive for the virus, and they all had direct contact with infected cows.
Experts are increasingly concerned that the virus could make a sustained jump into humans and start spreading among us.
"There's such a vast amount of virus at the moment," one expert says.
The good news is that bird flu is not H5N1, but that doesn't mean it can't mutate to achieve human-to-human transmission.
The key elements of a vaccine are already on standby.
The US is beginning to manufacture millions of vaccines using weakened influenza viruses that the CDC has developed.
