Work Continues on H1N1 Response
|
NCCPHP continues our work in responding to the 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak. This fall, NCCPHP will partner with the North Carolina Division of Public Health (NC DPH) on several projects designed to better prepare state and local agencies for the upcoming influenza season.
Along with staff from NC DPH and health departments in Orange and Alamance counties, NCCPHP and Team Epi-Aid worked to conduct a community survey of public acceptability and intention to receive the new H1N1 vaccine. Results from this survey may help inform and improve any proposed H1N1 vaccination campaign.
NCCPHP will also provide technical assistance to local health departments in revising pandemic influenza plans in light of changes due to H1N1. NCCPHP worked with NC DPH and local health departments in 2006-2007 when these plans were first developed.
NCCPHP continues to offer a number of online trainings related to influenza on the NCCPHP Training Web Site.
