Pandemic: Infectious Disease
Infectious diseases such as Avian Flu and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) can spread very quickly to become a pandemic. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the world is overdue for the next influenza pandemic. The threat of a pandemic influenza is not as much a question of if, but when.
The web pages, which are accessed under the menu item "Pandemic: Infectious Disease," are taken directly from the Infectious Disease Pandemic Response Plan for Appalachian State University. This plan was updated in December 2006.
On this site, the Infectious Disease Pandemic Response Plan has been divided into the following sections: General Information, Pandemic Phases, Operations During Each Phase, and Departmental Planning.
