2006 NYS DOH Pandemic Influenza Meetings Letter

Background:
As part of New York State Department of Health’s efforts to engage our partners in the DOH plan for pandemic influenza, and provide education regarding a pandemic flu outbreak, we have held a series of regional meetings across New York State.  Due to the overwhelming interest and response, we will be offering a series of these meetings again for those partners which were unable to attend.  This is a REPEAT of the meetings held in July – August, so previous attendees already have the information presented.

The purposes of the meetings are:
1)  To describe the NYSDOH Pandemic Influenza Plan within the context of federal, state and local planning efforts, including continuity of operations plans;
2)  To describe and assure that partners are aware of their roles, should a pandemic outbreak occur;
3)  To provide a forum for local and regional partners to address questions and concerns to NYSDOH; and
4)  To begin to address content-specific training needs (e.g., infection control training, epidemiological investigation, antiviral and vaccine prioritization, etc.).

The meetings are targeted to local health departments, hospitals, representatives of the professional providers (physicians, nurses, dentists, etc.) and associations, long-term care facilities, home care agencies, community health centers and mental health providers.

The NYS DOH looks forward to working with you on our pandemic flu preparedness efforts.
