Also, DoD has a "Pandemic Influenza Watchboard" available on the web: http://fhp.osd.mil/aiWatchboard/. One of the issues for DoD is personnel managment. Pandemic influenzas could reduce the 'readiness' of military personnel to do their jobs. Obviously this is not currently the issue, but the Military Health System has been diligently preparing rules, guidelines and practices. I wonder if the other agencies have done the same?
