Pandemic Influenza Planning
Vernon Dorisson
"While the major sources of pandemic influenza planning can provide volumes of background information on the nature of the threat and make recommendations for a global or national response, it is the local response that will have the greatest impact on minimizing the effects of a pandemic. Pandemic flu planning is not an activity that occurs in a vacuum. A global crisis such as a pandemic will require a response from people in a multitude of occupations and disciplines. Consequently, there will be a need to conduct the advance planning efforts in collaboration with other stakeholders while demonstrating a spirit of teamwork."
