Pandemic Flu Monitor: H1N1 Predicted to Be “Dominant” Flu Next Winter
Cheree Cleghorn | March 8, 2010
“The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said the H1N1 swine flu virus would probably spread at low levels during 2010’s spring and summer, and be the dominant and threatening strain in the winter flu season.
“It seems unlikely that there will be another spring/summer pandemic wave in Europe unless there are significant unrecognized uninfected populations or the virus changes and becomes more transmissible,” the ECDC, which monitors disease in the European Union, said in its latest flu risk assessment.”
