Case #4: University of South Carolina and South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Case example from the University of South Carolina (USC), where they developed a Pandemic Influenza Coordinating Committee in April 2009. The committee’s leadership engaged local and state officials from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control to participate in joint planning to ensure USC had a comprehensive pandemic influenza plan.
Case example of local health departments in South Carolina, Florida, and California that partnered with faith-based organizations to bring H1N1 vaccine to homeless and low-income residents.
