The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on Infectious Diseases has developed the Red Book Online Influenza Resource Page at www.aapredbook.org/flu to serve as a centralized point of reference for vaccine guidance, prevention, treatment, payment, policies, news, and other information pertaining to influenza for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. This is a supplementary Flu Links page that provides useful links to additional AAP and external resources for influenza information. Some links may require member or subscriber log-in.
