ECDC Forward look risk assessment for the 2009 pandemic influenza A(H1N1) and future influenza season
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has published a ‘Forward Look Risk Assessment’ for the influenza A(H1N1) pandemic and future influenza season. After assessing the current evidence, it seems likely that although no further pandemic waves are anticipated in Europe, the A(H1N1) virus will continue to circulate and become the dominant virus in the coming winter season 2010/11.
With this in mind, the Forward Look sets out a number of areas in which further surveillance work and research is advised, in order to better inform policy decisions such as vaccination strategies throughout 2010.
