This fall, spread of H1N1 influenza

strain

than that which was present this spring. Health care settings, schools and

workplaces are the most likely places for people to be exposed to H1N1.

The Committees will receive

testimony on: current H1N1 flu activity and monitoring and tracking

activities

being conducted by state and local health officials; an update on infection

rates in New York State; the H1N1 vaccine, its efficacy and safety,

availability of supplies and vaccination distribution plans; techniques to

prevent the spread of the H1N1 " swine flu; " educational, outreach and

preventive steps identified by government health and safety agencies; and

how

health care settings, schools and workplaces are implementing these steps.

Persons

wishing to testify or attend should complete the hearing reply form below

and

return as indicated as soon as possible, but no later than Wednesday,

October 7.

It is

important that the form be fully completed and returned so that persons

may be notified

in the event of emergency postponement or cancellation.

Oral

testimony will be limited to ten minutes in length. All testimony is

under oath. In preparing the order of witnesses, the

Committee will attempt to accommodate individual requests to speak at

particular times in view of special circumstances. This request should

be made on the reply form

or communicated to Committee staff as soon as possible. Ten copies of

any written statement should be

submitted at the hearing registration table. Written testimony, whether

presented

in person at the hearing or not,

should be e-mailed (as a Word or PDF document) before the hearing or as
