Pandemic Planning and Response
H1N1. Following the H1N1 outbreak of 2009-10, both St. Olaf and Carleton colleges want students, staff and faculty to remain vigilant about the spread of influenza during the 2011-12 winter and spring term. Both college's communities did an excellent job of mitigating the spread of influenza during thepandemic through healthy, consistent, prevention practices. It's our hope that these behaviors continue through the 2011-12 flu season.
