Pandemic Flu

At Independence Blue Cross, we want you to be prepared with everything you need to know to keep your family healthy. Like organizations worldwide, we are closely monitoring the current threat of a pandemic flu outbreak and staying in close touch with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local health organizations. We are also taking steps to make sure we will be there to serve you should a pandemic occur. In the event of an outbreak, we will follow the precautions and recommendations from the CDC and federal, state, and local governments.

In the event of an outbreak, IBC will follow all necessary precautions and recommendations as directed by the Centers for Disease Control, federal, state, and local governments. Additionally, we suggest that you take the time now to learn what to do to prepare yourself and your family, and how you should respond should an outbreak occur.

  1. Get the facts. Review these facts and frequently asked questions about seasonal flu, avian flu, and a pandemic flu.
  2. Know what to expect. Do you know what will happen at your workplace and on federal, state, and local levels in the event of an outbreak?
  3. Know what to do. Learn what you can do to help protect yourself and your family and reduce the risk of spreading the virus.

Your well-being is our first priority. We ask that you stay informed and prepared for this potential global health risk.
