Pandemic Influenza Plan - 2009
The Peel Long Term Care Pandemic Influenza Plan was developed to guide long-term care staff in their response to a pandemic influenza in their community or centre. The Plan is synchronized with the national, provincial and local pandemic responses and reflects current scientific knowledge and planning principles.
The Plan is part of a comprehensive Emergency Plan for each of the Region of Peel’s Long Term Care Centres. The Pandemic Plan was developed by Peel Long Term Care with support from expert resources.
As Pandemic planning is an ongoing and dynamic process, the Plan will be reviewed on a regular basis, in conjunction with the centres’ emergency plans, to ensure it remains aligned with national, provincial and local plans and reflects current knowledge on pandemic influenza.
