Department of Health Surveys Public about H1N1 Information
Department Seeks Information to Respond Effectively to Health Emergencies
May 20, 2010
(Santa Fe) – Health Secretary Alfredo Vigil, MD, encourages the public to complete a H1N1 influenza (swine flu) survey that will help the New Mexico Department of Health respond more effectively to health emergencies in the future. The information the public and health care providers give will help the Department of Health improve their policies and procedures.
“We are asking the public to tell us the best way for them to get information and vaccinations during an emergency,” Dr. Vigil said. “We want to learn from our experience responding to the H1N1 influenza pandemic so we can do a better job getting critical information to people about how they can protect themselves during a public health emergency.”
The public can fill out the 17-question survey through May 31 online or by calling a toll-free number to speak to staff from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Staff will also return messages.

The brief survey asks the public who they trust to give them health information during an emergency, the most convenient location to get vaccinated, and where they go to get useful information about an emergency and how to respond to it. Also, the Department of Health wants information on who was vaccinated against H1N1, where they got it and what behaviors they practiced to avoid the flu.
