WHO Declares H1N1 Unstoppable

Vaccination emphasized by WHO.
Compiled by staff 
Published: Jul 15, 2009

The World Health Organization's Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, has declared that the H1N1pandemic is unstoppable and therefore all countries need access to vaccine. The WHO has given drug makers a full go-ahead to manufacture vaccines against the pandemic influenza strain.

Health care workers will likely be the first to receive immunization treatment against the H1N1 virus. But, the WHO says each nation should determine their order of priority based on country-specific conditions. The WHO emphasizes that every country will need to vaccinate citizens against the virus.

Several reports showed the new virus attacks people differently than seasonal flu affecting younger people, the severely obese and seemingly healthy adults, and causing disease deep in the lungs. Each year, seasonal influenza is involved in 250,000 to 500,000 deaths globally.
