Flu Information...from the Best Sources

Wondering about the flu? Coming down with symptons? Want to know how to prevent infection in your home? Need to get a flu shot

Due to Pandemic H1N1 Influenza (formerly known as Swine Flu) and concerns about the 2009/2010 flu season, the EBSCO Publishing Medical and Nursing editors of DynaMed™, Nursing Reference Center™ (NRC) and Patient Education Reference Center™ (PERC) have made key influenza information from these resources freely available to the OSU-Tulsa Library and health care providers worldwide. Visit the Flu Information Portal hosted by EBSCO today.

The "For Patients" section includes the latest information on Pandemic H1N1 and Seasonal Influenza. These patient topics take advantage of the same evidence-based methodology and literature surveillance process as the topics written for healthcare providers. The resources are written specifically for patients, their families, co-workers, parents and teachers—anyone interested in learning more about the various strains of the flu or what to do it they or someone they know is diagnosed. The EBSCO editorial teams will continue to monitor information and update these resources as needed throughout the upcoming flu season.
