H1N1 Flu Resource Kit
The President and the Administration are actively engaged in preparing the Nation for the possibility of a more severe outbreak of H1N1 flu this fall. It’s important for every American family, business, school, and community to take a few steps now to prepare for the upcoming flu season and to limit the spread of the virus. This is a shared responsibility we have as parents, neighbors, community leaders, school officials, and business leaders.
To help you learn more about flu planning and prevention, and to help others begin planning, the Resource Kit below contains helpful information and resources. The Resource Kit will be regularly updated with new information and tools as we learn more about the H1N1 virus and the upcoming flu season.
