The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have issued guidance for child care and early childhood programs to prepare and respond to the 2009-2010 flu season. The materials include a technical report and a communication toolkit for providers.

These documents were designed to provide information for planning and conducting school-located 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccination clinics that target school-aged children enrolled in school and potentially other groups in the community. The targeted audience for these materials is primarily state and local public health department immunization and preparedness staff who are responsible for carrying out 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccination, but also education officials, school nurses, and others who are interested in planning and carrying out such activities.
