H1N1 Foreign and Sign Language Resources

From the Promising Practices: Pandemic Influenza tools website of the University of Minnesota (MN) Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CDRAP) website, this entry, H1N1 Foreign and Sign Language Resources, was assembled by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).

Chinese, Sign languages, Hmong, Hindi, Gujarati, French, Bantu (Other,) Creoles and pidgins (Other), Korean, Khmer, Burmese, Bengali, Armenian, Arabic, Amharic, Farsi, Russian, Turkish, Thai, Tagalog, Swahili, Spanish, Japanese, Serbian, Vietnamese, Punjabi, Portuguese, Polish, Nepali, Lao, Kurdish, and Somali.
