Pandemic influenza H1N1 2009--the Canadian experience.
The cornerstone of Canadian response to the pandemic H1N1 outbreak was the Canadian Pandemic Influenza Plan. The Plan was based on a moderate scenario, articulated around 7 pillars: surveillance, antiviral drugs, vaccines, public health measures, clinical care, communications, and research. This presentation provides an overview of Canada's response to pandemic H1N1. It presents the context (Who did what? How? …), what happened (focusing on pregnant women), addresses making decisions together, and includes some post-H1N1 reflections.
