Media Releases and Updates

 


 

The Office of Communications would like to share with you that the Governor’s Office and DOH Chief of Staff have approved that on Saturday, July 31, 2010 at 12:01 a.m. the Florida Flu Information Line will be demobilized.

As of that date, callers to the 1-877-352-3581 number, as well as the TTY numbers in English/Spanish/Creole, and Adverse Reactions Line (Poison Control Centers) will receive the following recorded message:

 

Thank you for calling the Florida Flu Information Line.

If this is an emergency, hang up and dial 911.

 The live operator and automated features of the Flu Information Line have been discontinued.

 If you have general questions about H1N1, or if you are a healthcare provider seeking medical consultation, contact your local health department for additional information. If you have received an H1N1 vaccination and think you may be having a medical problem, please contact your healthcare provider immediately.

 Phone numbers and addresses for Florida’s 67 county health departments are available at www.myflusafety.com, along with general flu information.

 Thank you again for calling.

 Goodbye.

 

The website, MyFluSafety.com will be revised to reflect the demobilization of the call center as well, with all references to the Florida Flu Information Line to be removed by July 31st. The website will remain available to visitors through June 30, 2011, as a resource for information related to H1N1 influenza.
