Vaccination

A vaccine can only be developed once the virus responsible for the flu pandemic has appeared and been identified.

Treatment

Antiviral medication administered to patients and members of their families, close contacts and healthcare personnel can be useful at the very start of a flu pandemic.

Firstly, antiviral medication increases chances of survival of the people infected. In addition, they can prevent the spread of the virus to others close to the patient and thus reduce its capacity to spread between humans.

Hygiene measures to be followed by patients and their families

The patients and their loved ones should follow the following basic hygiene measures closely:

• wash their hands several times per day with soap for 30 seconds, taking care to wash between the fingers;
• cough into a tissue, throwing it into the bin after use and washing hands. If there is no tissue to hand, cough or sneeze into the crook of the elbow and not into the hands. This prevents the virus being spread by the hands;
• avoid bodily contact, including embraces, kisses, handshakes, etc.;
• clean any surfaces used by different people (such as in the kitchen or bathroom) with soap or an alcohol-based solution;
• air rooms regularly (three to four times per day, for 10 minutes at a time).
