Ahead of the fall flu season, Georgia is set to receive almost $11-million dollars in federal funds to help prepare for the 2009 H1N1 virus, or so-called ‘swine flu’ virus. The grant is funded by the recently signed supplemental appropriations bill-Georgia’s 11-million is a portion of more than 300-million dollars to be distributed nationwide. Money is meant for things like emergency response, vaccination drives, and preparing for future outbreaks.
