A case study of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic – the so-called swine flu – has been published on Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness by a team of experts from the TELL ME projects. Their study compared the guidelines for risk communication in case of epidemics or pandemic from 2005 to 2008, released by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with CDC reports from 2009 to 2011. Aim of this analysis was to assess the implementation of these guidelines during the swine flu outbreak in 2009.

A study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), published on the Journal of Infectious Diseases, showed that flu vaccine reduced children’s risk of intensive care unit flu admission by 74 percent. The authors of the study analyzed the medical records of children, aged between 6 months and 17 years, hospitalized during the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 flu seasons with acute severe respiratory illness.

A report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCs) claimed that flu vaccination allowed preventing about 6.6 million influenza-associated illnesses during the 2012-2013 season. CDC experts use data from previous seasons to estimate the impact of the next flu wave. Usually, these numbers speak of about 200,000 expected hospitalizations. However, last year 79,000 hospitalizations were prevented thanks to the flu vaccine. Specifically, children from 6 months to 4 years old and adults aged at least 65 years accounted for an estimated 69% of the prevented hospitalizations.
