Excerpts from Testimony of Janet Napolitano, Secretary U.S. Department of Homeland Security before Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee April 29, 2009 re: HINI Virus
Currently, the United States has 50 million courses of anti-viral medication on hand that will have some efficacy against the 2009 HINI flu virus. Six million courses are dedicated for containment, and 44 million for treatment. Twenty-five percent (11 million courses) of the states ' allotments of these stockpiled anti-virals, known commercially as Tamiflu and Relenza, are being released.
Personal protection equipment is also being provided. While there is a priority placed on states that have confirmed cases of thisflu, as well as on border states,allstates have access to these extra resources.
Resources are already being deployed to several states and we expect all of the 11 million courses will be deployed by May 3. These federal resources augment the roughly 23 million courses that states themselves have stockpiled.
... In our response, we are moving according to plans and protocols in the National Pandemic Strategy and Implementation Plan (PI) to effectively address an outbreak of this kind.
