History

The Allen County Flu Task Force is a coalition of local public and private health care providers. Formed as an off-shoot of the Community Infectious Disease Network of Allen County, (Indiana), the task force first met in 2004 to respond to that season’s flu vaccine shortage. Since then, the task force has met on an annual basis to discuss strategies for distributing flu vaccine locally and for educating the public on other flu preventative measures.
