Passport Health (www.passporthealthusa) has provided anthrax and smallpox vaccination training and has worked with the U.S. military, federal postal facilities, and federal employees and currently operates a 24/7 immunization call center for the Department of Defense. The company also provides expert counseling and immunizations to international travelers and advises them on precautionary measures during outbreaks and pandemics.

These are important times, said Lessans. We have been at the highest pandemic level (level 6) since June 2009. Businesses large and small have to understand the storm that ™s coming and take measures so that their operations can continue. All businesses should have a pandemic plan in place and have a plan to deliver antivirals to employees if necessary, continued Lessans. There will also be special guidelines to follow if businesses are sending their workers overseas. Passport Health has been on conference calls with the CDC and will be ready to assist with the administration of the H1N1 vaccine and antivirals as per CDC directives.
