Abstract:

An analysis of the initial response to the H1N1 "swine flu" outbreak which finds that although U.S. officials executed strong coordination and communication and demonstarted an ability to adapt to changing circumstances, the nation's core public health capacity would be quickly overwhelmed if an outbreak were more severe or widespread. The report reviews lessons learned from the response to the H1N1 (swine) flu outbreak, ongoing core vulnerabilities in U.S. pandemic flu preparedness, and case studies of challenges communities around the country faced when responding to the outbreak.
