Whereas in 2009 swine flu was spreading rapidly throughout the summer as well as the colder months, 2010 saw a rapid reduction in cases. For this reason it is declared that the pandemic threat is over. However, there is still a risk of developing swine flu, and if caught it is no less dangerous as a result of it no longer being at pandemic status. Swine Flu in a Post Pandemic Phase The WHO have downgraded swine flu from pandemic alert phase 6 to the post-pandemic phase. This change actually took place on the 10th August 2010, and went mostly unreported at the time. However, due to some recent campaigns to highlight the risks, the downgrade is now being talked about a little more. Swine Flu is still a threat. Also pregnant women and children are still at greatest risk if they develop it. Most deaths caused by swine flu are still affected people under the age of 60 &#8211; the reverse of normal seasonal flu which only usually seriously affects the older population.

Isle of Man health chiefs made a statement on www.isleofman.com to clarify the situation. However, the Director of Public Health is still encouraging all vulnerable groups to receive the flu vaccine. Director of Public Health, Dr P Kishore, has advised the residents of the Isle of Man to get a flu vaccination as soon as possible to help reduce risk of infection to the most vulnerable people in society, i.e. pregnant women and children, should swine flu happen to spread this winter. &#8220;In Isle of Man we do not routinely test for the type of virus causing influenza (testing is unnecessary to treat the patient but is purely for research/ epidemiology purposes) and there have been no confirmed cases of H1N1 in the Isle of Man recently&#8221; &#8211; Dr P Kishore The weather is currently changing and cold weather is expected very soon which will increase the spread of the flu virus as immune systems suffer the effects of the cold.

Currently pregnant women, health workers and the most vulnerable people have been invited for the vaccination. Once everyone in these groups has received, or declined, a vaccination, then it will be rolled out to the next group.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.medimise.com/family-health/young-children-to-receive-swine-flu-vaccine/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Be Prepared for Swine Flu</title><link>http://www.medimise.com/respiratory-health/be-prepared-for-swine-flu</link> <comments>http://www.medimise.com/respiratory-health/be-prepared-for-swine-flu#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:54:13 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Marcia</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Respiratory Health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[flu friend]]></category> <category><![CDATA[swine flu]]></category> <category><![CDATA[symptoms of swine flu]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tamiflu]]></category> <category><![CDATA[treatment for swine flu]]></category> <guid
