SWINE FLU (NOT) IN OAXACA ... COMMITMENT OF THE MEMBERS OF THE OAXACA BED AND BREAKFAST ASSOCIATION

Swine flu cases in the state of Oaxaca are rare, and in fact reported cases are no more prevalent per capital in Mexico than in the US, and much less prevalent than in Canada. However, in an effort to provide prospective visitors to our establishments with all reasonable assurances as to their safety, each member of the Oaxaca Bed and Breakfast Association commits to do the following for every guest at our member B & Bs in Oaxaca and its central valleys, until every prospective traveler to Oaxaca has had an opportunity to be vaccinated against the H1N1 virus:

1) gratuitously deliver any guest with signs and / or symptons of flu or cold to their choice of a private medical clinic in the city of Oaxaca, a public hospital in the city of Oaxaca, or an English speaking doctor in the city of Oaxaca;
2) gratuitously deliver any guest to a pharmacy in the city of Oaxaca for the purpose of buying cold / flu medications;
3) gratuitously assist any guest in translating an reasonable medical forms regarding diagnosis and treatment of cold or flu symptoms, from Spanish to English, for the purpose of facilitating reimbursement of medical / medication costs from an American or Canadian insurer.
