American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) governments are sovereign entities with inherent authority to establish and administer public health programs within their communities and will be critical partners in national efforts to prepare for pandemic influenza. Within AIAN communities, some subpopulations will be particularly vulnerable during an influenza pandemic because of their underlying health conditions, whereas others will be at increased risk because of limited access to prevention or treatment interventions.We outline potential issues to consider in identifying and providing appropriate services for selected vulnerable populations within tribal communities. We also highlight pandemic influenza preparedness resources available to tribal leaders and their partners in state and local health departments, academia, community-based organizations, and the private sector.
美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AIAN）政府是拥有在其社区内建立和管理公共卫生项目的固有权力的主权实体，并且将成为国家流感大流行防范工作的关键合作伙伴。在AIAN社区内，一些亚人群体由于其潜在的健康状况，在流感大流行期间将特别脆弱，而另一些亚人群体则因预防或治疗干预措施的可及性有限而面临更高风险。我们概述了在为部落社区内选定的脆弱人群识别并提供适当服务时需要考虑的潜在问题。我们还重点介绍了部落领导人及其在州和地方卫生部门、学术界、社区组织及私营部门的合作伙伴可获取的流感大流行防范资源。
