Influenza Preparedness & Response


The H1N1 influenza virus of 2009, although not as intense as anticipated, was classified as a worldwide pandemic by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Much of its limited effect was attributed to the concerted efforts of healthcare organizations, public and private sector organizations, and the general public. As an employer, this event should act as reminder that influenza is and continues to be a potential foe to a productive workforce year after year.
