The Flu Manual was created to serve as a comprehensive educational guide for Avian Influenza (also known as Bird Flu and H5N1) with the target audience being the individual, their family and their community. The majority of information that exists within the public sector on Avian Influenza is designed for technical and medical experts and is very difficult to digest if one does not have prior knowledge about influenza. The Flu Manual serves to educate individuals about all stages of an influenza pandemic: from background and planning, to treatment of symptoms and response, to recovery. InSTEDD assembled the Flu Manual through collaboration with many experts in the field of influenza and crisis management.
