GPO Assists CDC in Providing the Public with Swine Flu Information

WASHINGTON, DC—April 30, 2009—As health officials cope with the outbreak of the swine flu, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) turn to the U.S. Government Printing Office’s (GPO) print procurement program for traveler informational cards. These cards will be handed out to travelers at airports, with international connections, explaining the symptoms of swine flu and the precautions the public should take. Nearly 42,000 cards have been printed in both English and Spanish.
