Model Practices

I've written before about a team from the Cumberland Plateau district in Virginia -- they wrote a business plan for mass flu vaccination in schools in Tazewell and Russell Counties. Took a few years, but they finally got the pilot completed, and the pilot worked, and they expanded.

Yadda yadda yadda, things progressed, Flu's Clues is now Flu-a-gator, and the team won a "Model Practice" award from NACCHO for the projectd. I hope you will read about the award and the team's implementation here: http://bit.ly/IRZ3Tm

Congratulations (belatedly) to the whole team, especially Kathy Hypes, who always stays in touch on their doings. You've been a model for many other health departments who are trying to build on your success!
