An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus, such as the H1N1 virus, emerges and begins to spread as quickly as the ordinary flu. Global pandemics can cause millions of deaths and significant societal disruptions, but their effects can be mitigated.
That is why it is critical for the world to quickly identify emerging pandemics and delay their spread until countermeasures are developed. With proper knowledge of pandemic influenza and how it occurs, you can do your part to slow the spread of disease and safeguard public health.
