PANDEMIC INFLUENZA

The authorities agree…

“Pandemics are global in nature, but their impact is local. When the next Pandemic strikes, as it surely will, it is likely to touch the lives of every individual, family and community. Our task is to make sure that when this happens, we will be a Nation prepared.”

- Michael O. Leavitt, Secretary, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
