Spokane Public Meeting August 29, 2009

Spokane – Make your voice heard on a decision facing Americans about the H1N1 vaccine!

Space is limited. Click here to register.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services expects the federal government to start a voluntary vaccination program against the 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) virus this fall.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local health partners are developing plans for the vaccination program. A public dilemma being faced is whether the US should adopt a full-throttle, go slow, or intermediate intensity program.

The CDC wants the public to discuss how intense a national immunization effort should be. The CDC will consider this input as it makes recommendations about the upcoming program.

Space is limited. Registration is required and you must be able to attend the meeting for the entire day.

Participating Organizations: Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) | National Association of County & City Health Officials (NACCHO) | Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) | Washington State Department of Health | Spokane Regional Health District | University of Nebraska Public Policy Center | The Keystone Center
