This lecture series, now in its fifth year running, aims to provide insight into current preparedness issues for an audience comprised of HSPH students, faculty, staff, and our public health practice partners. This year, the Harvard School of Public Health Center for Public Health Preparedness is planning a series of focused discussions on H1N1, where we invite an academician and a practitioner to discuss about the various issues related to the H1N1 outbreak.
