On Tuesday, October 20, 2009 Dr. Ruth Carrico participated in a live call-in television show on Kentucky Educational Television (KET) to answer questions about nH1N1 symptoms, vaccinations and preventive measures. Callers from around the Commonwealth asked a variety of questions regarding the pandemic and Kentucky’s plans to vaccinate high-risk groups against the virus. Information was also disseminated regarding the Commonwealth’s toll-free 2009 Flu Hotline where residents could call after the television show ended to ask further questions.

Additional panelists included William Hacker, MD, Commissioner, Kentucky Department for Public Health; Chris Nelson, MD, University of Kentucky Chandler Medical Center; and Melinda Rowe, MD, Commissioner, Lexington-Fayette County Health Department.
