In 2009, the spread of the H1N1 flu virus caused the World Health Organization to raise the pandemic alert level to Phase 6, the highest level. Georgia officials prepared for the H1N1 influenza campaign and the seasonal influenza campaign that occurred during fall and winter. While the H1N1 influenza campaign has ended, The Department of Community Health continues to build its pool of health professionals willing to serve as emergency response volunteers by signing up to assist with future campaigns (i.e. hurricane season). For more information and to sign up for the online volunteer pool, visit www.servga.gov. |
