To encourage information sharing, collaboration, and interactivity, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have been working jointly to provide consumers and partners with social media tools like widgets, mobile information and online videos.
For instance, CDC allows website owners to add a button or badge to their website to let visitors know how to stop the spread of H1N1 flu and where to get more information about H1N1 flu.
You can view and share H1N1 flu images from the CDC Flickr site or the CDC Public Health Image Library or follow updates from CDC on Twitter. Moreover they also have online videos on the YouTube channel, podcasts on the H1N1 flu which can be downloaded (audio and/or video podcasts) on desktops and portable music/video players. Last, but not the least, you can subscribe to RSS updates for ongoing news related to the H1N1 flu outbreak.
