You're reading: WHO to review H1N1 pandemic status on Feb. 23

GENEVA, Feb 18 (Reuters) - The World Health Organisation's emergency committee of experts will meet on Feb. 23 to decide whether the H1N1 flu pandemic has peaked, the WHO's top flu expert, Keiji Fukuda, said on Feb. 18.

Fukuda told a news conference that the WHO’s recommendation earlier on Thursday to include the H1N1 strain in vaccines for the next 2010/11 northern hemisphere flu season did not mean that the H1N1 influenza pandemic, declared last June, was over.
