With all the headlines and news stories on this subject now, you might be wondering where you can go for authoritative and accurate information. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Medline Plus, and the World Health Organization may prove useful. At Medline Plus, they offer a “Go Local” search feature to find Swine Flu services and providers by state and county. The resources listed include clinics, doctors and libraries. The World Health Organization provides a swine flu faq. Health databases such as Health & Wellness Resource Center and Medline are available for searching from CADL (with a library card) and Mel.org. In addition, Mel.org offers a collection of Swine Flu resources including a link to the Michigan Department of Community Health.
