The 2009 influenza pandemic, like all emerging infections, had
unique characteristics and challenges. This book examines the
epidemiology, clinical manifestations and outcome of the 2009
pandemic as compared to seasonal influenza and previous pandemics
in both developed and developing countries. Consideration is given
to the effectiveness of pre-pandemic planning in mitigating the
severity of the disease and what can be done differently to lessen
the impact of the next pandemic. As such, the book is designed to
provide insight about what can be done going forward to further
impact the morbidity and mortality due to both seasonal and
pandemic influenza and many of these lessons can be applied to
other emerging infections.There are many lessons to be learned from
the 2009 pandemic. This book not only describes what happened in
the 2009 pandemic, but also what can be done to better prepare for
the next pandemic. Issues discussed include what components of the
pandemic planning were effective and which were not. Additionally,
the book describes research studies and policy changes that: 1) are
needed to better predict the occurrence and severity of a pandemic;
2) improve prevention and treatment modalities; and 3) enable
better communication with the public about actions they can take to
protect themselves, families and communities.
