What is Swine Influenza “A” (H1N1)?
Swine flu is a respiratory disease commonly found in pigs. For more than
a century, this type of virus has been
observed in both humans and swine. In 1918 a swine influenza outbreak called
the Spanish flu affected
people around the world and killed as many as 100 million people. This
epidemic was caused by an
exceptionally virulent strain of the Influenza “A” virus strain (H1N1).
The strain of swine influenza “A” that is currently causing concern has the
following characteristics:
• It spreads easily between people.
• People not normally considered “high risk” (young adults) are contracting
this disease.
• It has made a significant number of people sick in many countries around
the world.
• The flu vaccination that was made available this season does not protect
against this strain.
