Since early this year when H1N1 became an issue of importance to the refugee health community RHIN has been working with health professionals throughout the country to identify and make available trusted information about understanding, preparing for, preventing and responding to the health emergency that is H1N1. Recently RHIN has reorganized the way in which users can access this information.

The reader should keep in mind that information about emergent health concerns, such as H1N1, can change rapidly. Recommendations in health advisories issued at one phase of an emergency, for example, may not be appropriate or relevant to a later phase of that emergency. RHIN continually attempts to make available timely materials in multiple languages, while also providing access to relevant historical materials. If readers have questions about the currency of any of the materials found though RHIN, particularly with respect to any preventive or curative recommendations, they are encouraged to contact the sources that are listed with each resource.
