A question and answer session will provide the opportunity to engage directly with leading communication and public health experts, including:

Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary, HHS
Anne Schuchat, Director, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, CDC
Viewers can participate in the Webcast by sending questions via email to [e-mail] or via Twitter by including the hashtag #FluCast  in their tweets.

Note: An on-demand, embeddable version of the broadcast will be available shortly after the Webcast on the HHS YouTube channel  and on the Know What to Do About the Flu archive page.

HHs has had various outreach programs to bloggers over the years... see this 2008 CIDRAP story about a science advisor interview with William Raub at Flu Wiki we hosted. Daily Kos also hosted a recent interview with Bruce Gellin, Director, National Vaccine Program Office (HHS).

This is an opportunity for the readers to ask a few questions in addition to the bloggers.
