CDC Launches H1N1 Flu Mobile Texting Pilot

What's Your Reaction?

People in Washington get increasingly dedicated to better public service, often via the Net.

In September 2009, the CDC launched a three-month text messaging pilot to get the word out regarding big health issues, like the H1N1 thing.

To subscribe to the pilot, text HEALTH to 87000. They tell me you can expect to receive about three health messages a week during the three-month pilot. (Standard text messaging rates will apply).

For more information about the pilot, visit http://www.cdc.gov/mobile

The Obama Administration is listening to "US" concerning too many vaccines & other toxins those we trusted with our well being let loose on "US"

Make your voice heard by adding it to the many others for one so loud, it can't be ignored.

No matter which side of this issue you stand on concerning vaccinations, our children are too important not to address this matter.

See this most revealing & eye opening information at this most important article in the comment section;
