Pandemic Influenza

A pandemic flu is defined as a global outbreak of a virulent human disease for which there is no vaccine and little natural immunity. Information about pandemic influenza is available to all Vernon College students through the Wellness Center information centers on all campuses. Further information regarding symptoms, diagnosis or transmission can be found at www.pandemicflu.gov. The College’s pandemic influenza response team will work in conjunction with local, state, and federal government health officials to determine the most prudent course of action to prevent and contain a pandemic flu outbreak within the College locations.
