History<br />
In 1976 a sw<strong>in</strong>e flu outbreak occurred at<br />
Fort Dix, however, this virus was not<br />
exactly the same as the virus identified <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>2009</strong>.<br />
The government developed a vacc<strong>in</strong>e <strong>for</strong><br />
this particular stra<strong>in</strong> but un<strong>for</strong>tunately the<br />
vacc<strong>in</strong>e caused a number of neurological<br />
problems<br />

Why is it called Sw<strong>in</strong>e Flu?<br />
Two of the genes <strong>in</strong> the<br />
H1N1 virus are similar to<br />
those found <strong>in</strong> the flu virus<br />
that <strong>in</strong>fects European <strong>and</strong><br />
Asian pigs!<br />
It also has avian genes <strong>and</strong><br />
human genes.<br />
Accord<strong>in</strong>g to the CDC<br />
scientists call this a<br />
"quadruple reassortant”<br />
virus<br />

difficulty breath<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>and</strong> may need a<br />
respirator<br />
Sometimes a<br />
secondary bacterial<br />

Treatment<br />
Anti-viral drugs can<br />
be used <strong>for</strong> those who<br />
are very ill (Tamiflu<br />
® <strong>and</strong> Relenza ®)<br />
Medications<br />
conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g aspir<strong>in</strong><br />
should not be used<br />
because of the risk<br />
of Reyes<br />
syndrome.<br />

Short <strong>and</strong> Long Term Effect<br />
Most people (90-95%) experience<br />
symptoms, however, recover fully from<br />
the sw<strong>in</strong>e flu<br />
Those with compromised immune<br />
systems are at risk <strong>and</strong> may not survive<br />
The mortality rate of the typical flu virus is<br />
0.1%, while it looks like the mortality rate<br />
<strong>for</strong> sw<strong>in</strong>e flu may be as high as 6%.<br />

Prevention<br />
If you are sick you<br />
should avoid contact<br />
with people <strong>for</strong> at<br />
least one week after<br />
your symptoms beg<strong>in</strong><br />
or when you have<br />
been symptom free<br />
<strong>for</strong> 24 hours<br />
(whichever is longer)<br />
Wear a mask if you<br />
must go out <strong>in</strong> public<br />

The United States government is work<strong>in</strong>g<br />
on develop<strong>in</strong>g a vacc<strong>in</strong>e <strong>for</strong> the virus<br />

Advances <strong>in</strong> Vacc<strong>in</strong>e<br />
Development<br />
Today researchers at Novavax, are try<strong>in</strong>g to<br />
use virus-like particles <strong>in</strong>stead of the actual<br />
virus to develop a vacc<strong>in</strong>e. With this new<br />
method, a sw<strong>in</strong>e flu vacc<strong>in</strong>e <strong>for</strong> the <strong>2009</strong><br />
H1N1 virus could be ready <strong>in</strong> half of the usual<br />
time.<br />
