Influenza (Flu) Information

The goal of the Health Department is to plan for, and prepare residents and visitors to properly respond to an influenza outbreak.  Working in partnership, it is also the responsibility of each individual to ensure their preparedness, and the preparedness of family members until additional help is available.

To date, there have been no cases of the Avian (bird flu) H5N1 virus in the United States, nor has there been a human transmission of the disease in a form that could fuel a pandemic.
