Officially Sanctioned

This is the official U.S. government Web site for information on pandemic flu and avian influenza. It includes links for the U.S. National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza and for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Pandemic Influenza Plan.

A premier site for information about avian influenza (bird flu) including the CDC Business Pandemic Influenza Planning Checklist.

This web site contains links to several sources of general information about influenza. Because vaccination is the primary means of preventing and controlling influenza, links related to influenza vaccine are listed first, followed by links related to antiviral drugs that have been approved in the United States for influenza. After the vaccine and antiviral drug links, there is a list of web sites that provide additional influenza information from United States government agencies and the World Health Organization, and a list of contacts for further inquiries.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Office of Thrift Supervision are issuing this interagency advisory to financial institutions and their technology service providers.
