EPIDEMOLOGY OF SWINE FLU

SWINE FLU IN INDIA & WORLD

The WHO has raised the Influenza Pandemic Alert to the highest level which is 6. Already India has seen over 40 confirmed cases of Swine Flu and the threat of a full blown epidemic in India is very real. The best we citizens can do is keep ourselves informed about the happenings and the steps we can take to prevent the spread of the flu. With most of the affected people fitting the profile of a person with internet access, we believe the internet is the first place that people would come looking for information like symptoms, who to contact etc. Swine Flu India is an attempt to bring all the necessary information in one place. India cannot afford to fall sick. Keep yourself and others informed.
