Federal, State, and local health agencies are making plans to prepare for, respond to, and contain an outbreak of pandemic flu. HHS activities to prepare for a pandemic flu include: * Supporting federal, state, and local health agencies’ efforts to prepare for and respond to a pandemic flu outbreak; * Working with the World Health Organization (WHO) and other nations to help detect and contain outbreaks; * Developing a national stockpile of antiviral drugs to help treat and control the spread of disease; * Supporting the manufacture and testing of possible vaccines, including finding more reliable and quicker ways to make large quantities of vaccines; and * Working with other federal agencies to prepare and to encourage communities, businesses, and organizations to plan for a pandemic influenza outbreak.
