2009-2010 Influenza Information

A Task Force composed of experts from the Infectious Diseases Division, the Infection Control Department, Respiratory Therapy, Employee Health Services, Emergency Management Preparedness/Nursing, and the Office of the Vice President of Quality and Safety has been meeting regularly to keep abreast of evolving issues regarding Swine Flu.

In order to keep all communications about Swine Flu clear and standardized, this Task Force is requesting that Associates not distribute independent communications on this issue.
