This month's newsletter provides
information on the potential for a pandemic
influenza (flu), a worldwide outbreak of a new flu
virus for which there is little or no immunity
(protection) in the human population.
Scientists and health
professionals are concerned that the current virus
in birds (avian flu or "bird flu") may develop
into the next human pandemic.
A pandemic flu can spread easily
from person-to-person, cause serious illness and
death. When a new pandemic flu spreads, it
creates a public health emergency.
A pandemic flu lasts longer, may
make more people seriously ill, and may cause more
deaths than any other health crisis in our time.
