Flu.gov has a new face and so much more !

It is the “one stop” for flu information featuring critical, current
information on seasonal and H1N1 flu.

Some new Flu.gov features include:

Ask the Expert:  People are invited to submit their
flu-related questions to be answered by the experts at CDC.  A new,
timely question and answer is selected for posting each day.

Mapping:  We have created a robust, interactive map in
partnership with Harvard Children’s Hospital which gives people access to
location-specific information including:

State Resources (mirrors content on state pages)

State Hotline (where available)

Flu Clinic Locators (where available)

Resources for individuals, families and professionals
