Where will I be able to get advice during a flu pandemic?
In the event of a pandemic, the government will keep you informed through the media with the most up to date help and advice. There will be announcements on the television, radio and in national newspapers. Information materials will also be available from your GP, pharmacies, and on the Department of Health website. These will tell you how to protect yourself and your family, and what to do if you develop flu symptoms. A National Flu Telephone Helpline, providing advice about pandemic influenza, will also be available. As the pandemic develops and we learn more about the new virus, the advice may change, so you will need to keep checking the media for updates.
