PEORIA —
Gov. Pat Quinn next week will declare a public health emergency to provide more resources for a public health response to the H1N1 virus.
The declaration will allow the Peoria City/County Health Department and others to take advantage of opportunities to allow communities to respond to the viral threat through federal funding, said Health Department Administrator Greg Chance on Thursday.
“The declaration does not necessarily indicate that we’re at the extreme measure as it relates to H1N1, but it provides the tools necessary, especially from a public health response related to the mass vaccination programs that will be a challenge for all public health departments,” Chance said.
During a joint meeting Thursday, county and local health officials discussed responses to the H1N1 virus if there is a major outbreak in central Illinois.
