Pandemic influenza outbreaks in the 20th Century alone left tens of millions of people dead in their wake and cost hundreds The Ministry of Health leads the Government’s response to a pandemic. The 1957–1958 Asian flu pandemic was a global pandemic of influenza A virus subtype H2N2 that originated in Guizhou in southern China. The number of deaths caused by the 1957–1958 pandemic is estimated between one and four million worldwide, making it one of the deadliest pandemics in history.

The Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy (OIDP) oversees the National Vaccine Program which provides strategic leadership and coordination of vaccine and immunization activities among federal agencies and other stakeholders whose mandate is to help reduce the burden of preventable infectious disease. Influenza, or flu, is a contagious respiratory infection caused by several flu viruses that infect the nose, throat and lungs. 34. An influenza pandemic is a global outbreak of a new influenza A virus. By examining the origins, pathways, demographic impact and consequences for the public, the medical profession and governments, of the so-called “Spanish” influenza pandemic of 1918-1919, this article establishes the main contours of the worst pandemic in modern history, which killed some 50 million people worldwide in eighteen months. This plan can be applied to any acute respiratory pathogen (virus or bacteria) and guidance will be Read why in the definitive account of the 1918 Flu Epidemic. Red Cross workers make anti-influenza masks for soldiers, Boston, Massachusetts. (National Archives Identifier 45499341) Before COVID-19, the most severe pandemic in recent history was the 1918 influenza virus, often called “the Spanish Flu.” The virus infected roughly 500 million people—one-third of the world’s population—and caused 50 million deaths worldwide (double the Section 3-Pandemic Infl uenza Context-Summary: Section 3 summarizes the context for pandemic preparedness actions with an overview of pandemic influenza, how it spreads, options for reducing transmissibility, international efforts to contain its spread, as well as major planning assumptions and implications for CI/KR in the United States. Develop a deployment plan to deliver pandemic influenza vaccines to national distribution points within seven days from when the vaccine is available to the national government. The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than the Great War, known today as World War I (WWI), at somewhere between 20 and 40 million people. Influenza viruses, of which there are many types, can cause rapid, widespread disease and death. The PIP Framework brings together Member States, industry, other stakeholders and WHO to implement a global approach to pandemic influenza preparedness and response. The 1918–19 influenza pandemic is often called the ‘Spanish flu’, not because it originated in Spain, but due to it first being widely reported there. When discussing pandemic preparedness and COVID-19, “[c]learly, the Obama administration did not leave any kind of game plan for something like this.” By examining the origins, pathways, demographic impact and consequences for the public, the medical profession and governments, of the so-called “Spanish” influenza pandemic of 1918-1919, this article establishes the main contours of the worst pandemic in modern history, which killed some 50 million people worldwide in eighteen months.

Magisterial in its breadth of perspective and depth of research, The Great Influenza provides us with a precise and sobering model as we confront the epidemics looming on our own horizon. This pandemic started in 1918, the last year of the First World War, and passed through soldiers in Western Europe in successively more virulent waves. The Ministry of Health leads the Government’s response to a pandemic. Its key goals include: to improve and strengthen the sharing of influenza viruses with human pandemic potential; and to increase the access of developing countries to vaccines and other pandemic related supplies. 1. Therefore, Federal agencies must plan to deal with the potential implications for human resources management. The AHMPPI will continue to be updated as new clinical evidence is developed. influenza or SARS) and recommends appropriate public health measures and response actions prior to and during a pandemic. Pandemics happen when new (novel) influenza A viruses emerge which are able to infect people easily and spread from person to person in an efficient and sustained way. The New Zealand Influenza Pandemic Plan: A framework for action sets out the all-of-government measures to be taken to prepare for and respond to an influenza pandemic. This document covers the readiness and response plan for novel acute respiratory infections with pandemic potential (e.g. Consider the feasibility of using pneumococcal vaccines as part of the routine immunization program in accordance with WHO guidelines. 46.
