Flu & Pandemic Planning

Although no one can predict when the next pandemic will arise, experts and organizations around the world are developing plans to reduce the impact of an influenza pandemic.

Working with the Toronto Academic Health Services Network (TAHSN), the TAHSN Pandemic Planning Guidelines have been developed after a year of collaboration among the Toronto Teaching Hospitals. This manual will outline the goals, objectives and action plan of the TAHSN (including Sunnybrook) in response to a pandemic and serve as a resource for healthcare organizations outside of the TAHSN network.
