The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced that the Taiwan Centers for Disease Control (Taiwan CDC) has posted information on the 2009 influenza pandemic in Taiwan on the Wikipedia website under the title of ?2009 flu pandemic in Taiwan?. The article details Taiwan?s response to the 2009 influenza pandemic. The article is posted to further improve the international community?s understanding of Taiwan?s H1N1 control measures, offering an alternative source of information regarding Taiwan?s response to the 2009 influenza pandemic to the rest of the international community. Taiwan CDC highly welcomes contribution to the article from anyone with internet access.
The article is written primarily by two physicians working at Taiwan CDC, recording all the response measures, including implementation of several surveillance systems, stockpiling of Tamiflu, adaptation of guidelines by health care workers and implementation of the nationwide vaccination campaign, taken by Taiwan to stop the widespread of H1N1. The article is written in English to allow anyone with internet access to locate and edit the information contained in the article.
In light of the rising popularity and the influences of the internet-based social networking sites, since the establishment of CECC, all Taiwan?s response measures to the 2009 influenza pandemic have not only been posted on the official website, but also on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to reach out to the younger generation.
