Dr. James Lederer, chief medical officer for Berkshire Health Systems, says we’re seeing the beginning, not the end, of an especially significant flu season.

It feels like everyone is sick right now. And while that is a slight exaggeration, the real situation isn't too sunny either.

State officials say the highly pathogenic avian influenza – more commonly known as bird flu – is widespread in much of the state.

Waterfowl birds and their predators are especially at risk of contracting H5N1. Massachusetts has not yet reported a human case of the virus.

The current bird flu outbreak in Massachusetts is the largest the state has ever seen. Here's why officials believe it has become so widespread and what residents should do to protect themselves (and their pets).

Several Massachusetts communities are posting warnings or closing public spaces over concerns about bird flu and the recent deaths of several groups of birds.

Hundreds of dead or sick red-breasted mergansers have been found along Lake Michigan, sparking bird flu concerns.

Currently, there are a total of 67 confirmed human cases in the United States and one death associated with the bird flu.
