National Pandemic Flu Line Closed

It has been said today that the Pandemic Flu service will be withdrawn as from 11th February but can be restored within 7 days if it is needed.

The phone line & the website will be taken down, and any leaflets ect will be excluded from advertising it. The website holds information about Swine Flu, such as the symptoms and what to do and who to call, as well as the phone line in which you can call to talk to some one with relevant information.

Dr Ridge explains “the antiviral collection points will continue to operate until the end of the flu season (the end of March 2010) but antivirals will only be authorised via health care professionals using either antiviral authorisation vouchers or the right hand side of FP10s”.
