Welcome
to the Utah Department of Health's Pandemic
Influenza Web site. Here you can find
information to help you, your family
and your community prepare for an influenza
pandemic. There are also resources for
government, health care providers, and
public health agencies, as well as a
weekly update of how avian influenza
is moving around the globe.
An
influenza pandemic is a global outbreak
of serious illness in people. It can
be caused by a strain of influenza that
most people have no natural immunity
to and that is easily spread from person
to person.
Currently,
there is no Avian (H5N1) influenza pandemic. |
