Potentially one of the most serious of all public health crises is pandemic flu. In this unit’s assignment, you will describe plans for responding to such a pandemic.
Begin by browsing through the Pandemicflu.gov/Avianflu.gov, found at www.pandemicflu.gov, and familiarize yourself with the resources on the site. Then complete the following steps.
For this assignment, assume that cluster(s) of avian influenza appear in your state. These are still localized but show some evidence of human transmission (phase 5).
Drawing on the resources from this website and your other Learning Resources this week, address the following questions.
Would you add anything to the government’s plan, or do you think this is adequate?
Your assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. Include four quality references where two of them are from peer-reviewed articles. Use your own words, and include citations and references as needed to avoid plagiarism. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations and be cited per APA style.
