ACTION -- Swine Flu widget for your websites

[Guest guest]

Dear

Colleagues,

I

am forwarding this email to you from Henry of the HRSA Office of Minority

and Special Projects with a “Widget” containing information on FAQ related to

Swine Flu…Please forward it as you see fit within your organization, and feel

free to post it on your web site.

We

are in the process of inquiring about any special messages that might be

appropriate for centers seeing large numbers of immigrants or migrant

farmworkers. At this time HRSA is working hard to send out one message for

all, rather than multiple and potentially conflicting messages.

We

will keep you posted if we determine that there is anything additional that is

recommended for MHCs.

Hi All-

Please feel free

to start sharing the following message with partners.

Thanks,

Tara

The U.S. Department of

Health & Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention created a small-footprint widget that

provides helpful information on what action to take and what people can

do. We would appreciate your help in placing

the widget on as many home and related web pages as possible. An

English-language version is immediately available. A Spanish language

version will be available soon.

The Health

Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is

assisting the CDC in spreading helpful information and education about the

swine flu outbreak. HRSA partner organizations are asked to consider

adding this important information about the swine flu to their websites.

If you are not

the appropriate person to assist in this communication to your audiences,

please forward this information to your web content managers and staff.

The widget,

with coding, is available from www.hhs.gov/web/library/index.html.

The widget has

three links: information, investigation and " what you can do. "

This swine

flu-specific widget

has been created as an application that displays featured content directly on

your web page. Once you’ve added the widget, there’s no technical

maintenance. By adding the CDC’s swine flu

widget to your Web page, you can allow your site

visitors to access tips to protect

themselves from the cause and spread of the disease and create better awareness

of related symptoms.

More information

is available at: www.cdc.gov/swineflu/

Thank you for

your help in this important health and safety matter!

Tara J. Balsley, M.P.H.
