Regional Health Unit

Challenge

When the World Health Organization declared an H1N1 pandemic, moving the alert level to phase 6, it marked the first global pandemic since the 1968 Hong Kong flu. The local health unit in Peterborough needed tremendous assistance from the community and local business organizations for their H1N1 immunization campaign. This would be the largest mass immunization campaign in Ontario’s history.
