Swine Flu - Over by Christmas?

An interesting article by Wales Online, following research in Wales and medical professionals have been quoted as saying that the peak of swine flu has fallen and we could well be on our way to see swine flu fizzle out by Christmas. However, with the winter temperatures well and truly drawing in on us, we should still remain on heightened alert as it stands to reason that the vulnerable groups are going to be susceptible to normal seasonal flus and this will weaken their immunity to the H1N1 virus. Many people are expecting the second wave of the swine flu virus to hit, as seen with previous pandemics and outbreaks. However, in wales alone in the coming the month there is expected to be over 750,000 swine flu vaccinations. So the message is clear from health professionals and the government alike, we should still remain cautious and not get complacement that the swine flu virus has been eradicated, and there could at anytime be a second wave.
