About registration:

Leaders from local public health departments around Michigan today said they’re working to adjust services in their communities in the face of rescinded federal grants and anticipated future cuts, and they’re concerned about what Michigan legislative leaders will decide as they finalize state budgets for this year.

This course is a guide for local health officials and their partners to coordinate plans to provide mass distribution of medical countermeasures in response to a large-scale public health incident. This course focuses on planning considerations, recommendation to achieve the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) 48-hour standard for Mass Prophylaxis, and the local community’s Mass Prophylaxis and Point of Dispensing (POD) site preparedness. The course material is applicable to pandemic influenza, bio-terrorism, and other public health emergencies.
