Chapter 15: Health Sector Planning and Response by Pandemic Phase

This chapter contains a series of charts that provide an overview of key planning and response areas for each part of the health sector. Table 15.1 deals with the interpandemic period (Phases 1 and 2). Table 15.2 covers the pandemic alert period (Phases 3, 4 and 5) while Table 15.3 covers the actual pandemic (Phase 6).

The charts summarize the key points from the previous chapters under the main components of the pandemic response – surveillance, vaccines, antivirals, public health measures, infection prevention and control (separated out from public health measures for ease of reading), health services and communication. The columns are for the different parts of the Peel Health sector, with the second column representing the provincial role. It is hoped that the charts will provide a quick overview for each organization’s responsibilities and proposed activities
