This initiative is a collaborative effort with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and AAP. Representatives from 10 states will be preparing a plan over a two-month period. The goal is to learn from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, and develop a new plan for future potential pandemics. Dr. Rathore has gathered a team from all over Florida with representation from public and private sectors, academics, and private practicing pediatricians.
