The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced a donation of vaccines against Influenza H1N1 to begin distribution among the poor nations of the world beginning next month. The flu H1N1 pandemic has spread in the last few months to practically all countries of the world causing millions of human patients and more than 4500 reported deaths.
The number of cases and deaths is expected to rise in the next winter season. Fortunately an effective vaccine is now available. In the North Hemisphere the vaccine is now being applied to medical workers, pregnant women, and persons with chronic diseases who are at high risk of developing a serious illness. One dose of the vaccine is enough to prevent the disease. As it is applied around the world it will prevent thousands of deaths.
