Ohio Pandemic Influenza

Ohio Pandemic Flu Newsletters Change to Combined Format
Submit a story now to return to specialized content

The Ohio Department of Health began publishing free quarterly newsletters in July 2006 on the topic of planning for a potential influenza pandemic. Receipt of these newsletters is by subscription only and story ideas primarily come from subscribers and partner agencies. At this time, both subscriptions and submissions are lower than expected so the newsletter will return to a combined format. If you'd like to see specialized content again, send us a best practice, refer your contacts to us and let's share what Ohioans are doing to prepare for a flu pandemic or other emergency.

For those who have already subscribed to the newsletters, you do not need to change your subscription. You will receive the combined newsletter. And if the newsletters return to specialized content, you'll be ready to receive the newsletter that best suits you and your organization.
