The first case of bird flu in a person was confirmed in April by the CDC .

As of Thursday , 58 human cases have been confirmed in seven states.

There is no evidence of person-to-person transmission, and the risk to the general public is low.

Raw Farm's raw whole milk and cream products that were still on store shelves in California were being recalled.

The World Health Organization announced in July that it has launched an initiative to help accelerate the development of a human bird flu vaccine using messenger RNA technology. In October , federal health officials announced they are providing $72 million to vaccine manufacturers to help ensure available non-mRNA bird flu vaccines are ready-to-use, if needed. There are currently no recommendations for anyone in the U.S. to be vaccinated against bird flu. ABC News' Youri Bendjaoud contributed to this report..
