Scientists say H1N1 Flu will Revisit in the winter

Scientists have asserted that H1N1 virus epidemic is not yet over and is probable to revisit in the winter, when flu is usually expected.

It has been found that in some regions of the nation, 85% have not yet got H1N1.

Scientists have said that usage of the vaccine has differed from around 10% to 30%, of those offered a lot of the most weak are not protected.

According to Prof Neil Ferguson, Director of the MRC Centre for Outbreak Analysis and Modelling, Dept of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Imperial College London, there has been a renaissance of cases in the southern states of America.

It is said that H1N1 seems to be hitting people this time.

Prof Peter Openshaw, Director of the Centre for Respiratory Infection at the National Heart and Lung Institute, at Imperial College London, stated, “In London and the West Midlands up to 40 per cent of schoolchildren have had it but they are the exception. In most regions it was about 15 per cent so there are still a lot of people still to be infected”.

Prof Ferguson said that the number of people who died from swine flu was perhaps miscalculated in England because of the method the statistics was composed.
