Plan and Prepare for Pandemic Influenza
Pandemic influenza has been making the news a lot recently. Simply put, an influenza pandemic is an outbreak that occurs all over the world at the same time. It is caused by an influenza virus that radically mutates, becomes able to spread easily from person to person, and to which people have little or no immunity. Historically, these events have occurred every 10 to 40 years over the last 400 years. Though no one can predict when the next might occur, or prevent it from happening, we can prepare - and every British Columbian has a role to play.
