H1N1 Resources

Outreach is crucial in helping to ensure diverse, and harder to reach communities receive clear and accurate information about the 2009 H1N1 virus. These populations include persons who are geographically isolated, lack access to the Internet, have low literacy skills, or have language barriers.

Below are some new tools for preventing flu in your communities. The HHS Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Office of Minority Health have created new 1-page fliers on H1N1 flu and vaccine safety for hard to reach populations.
