ECDC Forward look risk assessment (Update 28 October 2010): Likely scenarios and uncertainties in the 2010/2011 influenza season in Europe and beyond

This link will take you to 'Likely scenarios and uncertainties in the 2010/2011 influenza season in Europe and beyond' 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.
