influenza outbreak. It identifies sixteen weaknesses in the outgoing
Bush Administration’s approach to get prepared for pandemic influenza.
In addition, the report provides fifteen critical recommendations for
what Congress, the incoming Administration, and the public and private
sectors can do to achieve National readiness to combat this threat.”
