H1N1 Guidance for HRSA Grantees

HRSA has been working with HHS, other Federal agency partners, grantees, and grantee associations to get ready for the upcoming flu season. One product of these efforts is the H1N1 Guidance for HRSA Grantees. This guidance is intended primarily for HRSA-funded direct service grantees and their sub grantees and contractors, although other HRSA grantees may find the information useful. In addition to HRSA grantees, this guidance may also be of interest to eligible 340B entities and cooperative agreement partners to the extent that the information in the guidance may be applicable.

The H1N1 Guidance for HRSA Grantees is voluntary. HRSA is providing this to help HRSA-funded programs plan how to best protect their workforce and serve their communities. HRSA will continue to monitor evolving pandemic preparedness efforts and work to provide guidance and information to grantees and grantee associations as it becomes available. When products and updates in support of H1N1 pandemic response efforts are released, these will be posted to the same Website as the guidance.
