PlanFirst Webcasts on Pandemic Influenza
 
September Webcast

Join us on September 25, 2008, at 2:00 pm ET, for our Webcast on individual preparedness.

 

Every sector of society is responsible for preparing now for an influenza pandemic. Even families and individuals have a role in planning for an influenza pandemic. The media buzz around “bird flu” has died down but the H5N1 virus has not. We must continue to prepare our Nation for a flu pandemic.

 

 

To help citizens learn more about pandemic flu and the steps they can take now to plan for a pandemic and to protect their loved ones, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services invites you to participate in this important discussion. 

 

 
 
Speakers
  • Admiral Joxel Garcia, Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
  • Dr. Richard Benjamin, Chief Medical Officer, American Red Cross
  • Harlan Dolgin, Co-chair, PandemicPrep.org, St. Louis, Missouri
  • Tim Woerther, Co-chair, PandemicPrep.org, St. Louis, Missouri

 

 

No registration is required. Email your questions for the Webcast panelists before and/or during the program to hhsstudio@hhs.gov. Please include your first name, state and town.
