What is a flu pandemic?
A flu pandemic occurs when a new flu virus emerges that can infect and be easily spread among individuals because they do not have immunity. In a pandemic, people in a very large geographic area are affected. The extent and severity of a pandemic depends on the specific virus. So far, the novel H1N1 virus has not been especially severe.
