Welcome to the City of El Paso Department of Public Health 2009 H1N1 Flu Website. The Department of Public Health is committed to keeping the community continually informed on the current H1N1 situation. We have designed this website with the informational needs of our community in mind. We hope that you will find this site a useful and reliable resource.
Since late April 2009 health departments across the globe have been mobilized to respond to the 2009 H1N1 Flu. Our department has been no exception; our unique geographic location has created an opportunity for binational and tri-state cooperation. We continue to collaborate with all local health partners, schools, hospitals, federal and state government agencies, emergency management, law enforcement, and businesses as well as public and private interests groups all in an effort to help our community.
A major component of any public health effort lies in the cooperative nature of the community. Although we cannot prevent every case of seasonal or H1N1 flu, there are steps that you can take to minimize the impact of falling ill with the flu or preventing it altogether such as getting vaccinated, practicing and teaching good hygiene and staying healthy.
This site contains 2009 H1N1 Flu educational material that we encourage you to use for your purposes. Please keep visiting our website and contact us with your suggestions or concerns.
We thank all of our staff, all of our partner agencies and the local media for their continued support and assistance.
