REQUIRED LISTS AND FORMS


As for any emergency, prepare in advance all the lists and forms you'll need. You will have many other things to do when the problems start and the last thing you'll want to be doing is creating multiple copies of multiple forms and lists.

Furthermore, you may be required by the local authorities to keep certain records should staff fall sick in the workplace.

Forms can be created well in advance using the guidelines outlined below. You should then print out enough copies to meet your needs and store them somewhere safe and out of the way for when the time comes.

Alternatively, Bird Flu Manual Online has created customizable templates of each of these forms which are available for purchase at only US$4.95 per template. Once purchased you may make as many copies as you like for your own use. Please see the end of this section for details of how to purchase and obtain the ready made templates.

It is recommended as a minimum you create:

   Influenza Notification Form

A copy of the Influenza Notification Form is given to each employee. It outlines the symptoms to look for and explains the procedures staff should go through should they feel ill at home and at work. It contains the contact information of the Influenza Manager and instructs them to notify him/her for advice and notification.

Influenza Notification Form

   Infection at Work Record Form

The Infection at Work Record Form is used to keep a record of staff who fall ill at work. It records the symptoms felt by the staff member, their contact details, personal information and recent travel history.

   Contact Tracking Form

The Contact Tracking Form records who sick employees have been in close contact with, including name, address, phone number and email address.

Contact Tracking Form
Contact Tracking Form


   Emergency Contact Phone List

The Emergency Contact Phone List contains contact information of critical managers and staff. All staff members should be given a copy of the Emergency Contact Phone List, and not just those on the list. It makes good sense to populate this form now as it would be useful in any type of emergency. It should also be made into a pocket size document that staff members can keep on their person at all times.

Emergency Contact Phone List Template

   Travel Application Form

The Travel Application Form is designed to append to your existing travel application form if you have one, but should also work as a stand alone if you don't. It records where employees are traveling to on business or holiday, and keeps contact details for each leg of their journey. If staff are traveling to an infected area, the form can be used in conjunction with any special travel policies in force at the time.

Excessive Use Of Antiviral Drugs Could Aid Deadly Flu
Influenza's ability to resist the effects of cheap and popular antiviral agents in Asia and Russia should serve as a cautionary tale about U.S. plans to use the antiviral Tamiflu in the event of widespread avian flu infection in humans, scientists say. Researchers analyzed almost 700 genome sequences of avian influenza strains to document where and when the virus developed resistance to a class of antiviral drugs called adamantanes and how far resistant strains spread.

Woman With Bird Flu Dies In Beijing Hospital
Chinese health authorities confirmed on Tuesday that a 19-year old woman from east China who lived in Beijing and who was infected with bird flu died in a Beijing hospital at 7.20 am on Monday.

1918 Flu Killed Millions Because Of Three Genes
A team of scientists from the US and Japan have identified a combination of three genes in the flu virus that was most likely responsible for making the 1918 flu strain so deadly that it caused the most devastating outbreak of infectious disease ever known to humankind, leaving tens of millions dead in its wake.

WHO Update Of Avian Influenza Situation In Cambodia
The Ministry of Health of Cambodia has announced a new confirmed case of human infection with the H5N1 avian influenza virus. The 19-year-old male, from Kandal Province, developed symptoms on 28 November and initially sought medical attention at a local health centre on 30 November. The presence of the H5N1 virus was confirmed by the National Influenza Centre, the Institut Pasteur in Cambodia, on 11 December.

Vical Pandemic Influenza Vaccines Achieve T-Cell Responses And Cross-Clade Reactivity In Humans
Vical Incorporated (Nasdaq: VICL) announced that the company's Vaxfectin(R)-formulated H5N1 pandemic influenza DNA vaccines induced T-cell responses against a matching strain of influenza virus and demonstrated cross-clade antibody responses against a different strain in a Phase 1 clinical trial. The company previously reported that the vaccines had achieved potentially protective levels of antibody responses in up to 67% of evaluable subjects in the trial's higher dose cohorts.

Over 80,000 Chickens To Be Killed In Hong Kong After Bird Flu Found
Authorities in Hong Kong say over 80,000 chickens will be culled after a poultry farm was found to have chickens infected with avian influenza (bird flu). The last time bird flu was detected in Hong Kong was in 2002. About 60 dead chickens were found in the farm, according to York Chow, Health Secretary. Tests have confirmed the birds died from the H5N1 virus - the most virulent strain. He added that all chickens within a 2-mile (3-km) radius of the infected farm will be culled.

Estimating Antiviral Effectiveness Against Pandemic Influenza Using Household Data
Antiviral drugs play a central role in current plans for managing an influenza pandemic. However, their ability to reduce symptoms and infectivity in cases, and to reduce susceptibility of individuals given antivirals prophylactically must be confirmed for the pandemic virus strain. We present a technique for estimating antiviral effectiveness from data that can gathered easily from infected households during the early stages of an influenza pandemic.

Effects Of Influenza A Virus Infection On Migrating Mallard Ducks
Mallard ducks are a main reservoir for low-pathogenic avian influenza virus in nature, yet surprisingly little is known about how infection affects these birds. We analyzed 10,000 samples from migratory mallards in Sweden for presence of influenza virus and were able to demonstrate that infected birds were leaner than uninfected birds, and that weight loss was related to the amount of virus shed in their faeces.

Armed Forces Institute Of Pathology To Conduct NanoViricides Animal Studies Against Bird Flu
NanoViricides, Inc. (OTC BB: NNVC.OB) (the "Company"), announced today that they have executed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP).

Fate And Effects Of The Drug Tamiflu In The Environment
The research council FORMAS in Sweden has granted 574 000 euro to a new research project that will study the environmental fate and effects of the anti-viral drug Tamiflu on the development on influenza resistance. Tamiflu is being stockpiled all over the world for use in fighting the next influenza pandemic. However, there are growing signs that influenza viruses may develop resistance to this vital pharmaceutical, because it is routinely prescribed for seasonal influenza.

A New Way To Predict Outbreaks: Replikin Peptide Concentration In H5N1 Influenza Virus Genome As A Marker For Lethal Outbreaks
WHO and CDC have stated that the predictive accuracy of their annual formulations for human influenza vaccines is "suboptimal" -- often correct less than 50% of the time, especially for seniors. Perhaps in part because we are not yet accurate in our predictions of upcoming influenza strains, approximately 36,000 people die each year of flu in the United States alone.
