Pandemic Influenza Storybook (CDC)
An online storybook, released in August 2008 by the CDC, contains narratives from survivors,
families, and friends about one of the largest scourges ever on human kind – the 1918 influenza
pandemic that killed millions of people around the world. The storybook provides valuable insight
for public health officials preparing for the possibility of another pandemic sometime in our future.
