Public Media and the H1N1 Pandemic and the Seasonal Flu
As the St. Louis region prepares for H1N1, KETC/Channel 9 is using our capabilities on-air, online and in the community as the region’s trusted public media organization to connect residents to H1N1 prevention and immunization resources through a network of trusted community agencies. We strive to connect our community to accurate and coordinated information to strengthen our community’s response to the flu.
