  • Title: Building an insurance against modern pandemics.
    Author: Rappuoli R, Medini D, Siena E, Budroni S, Dormitzer PR, Del Giudice G.
    Journal: Curr Opin Investig Drugs; 2010 Feb; 11(2):126-30. PubMed ID: 20112161.
    Abstract:
    The response to the first influenza pandemic of the 21st century benefited from the extensive preparation for an avian influenza pandemic and the mild nature of the 2009 A/H1N1 swine influenza virus. However, the pandemic demonstrated the limited ability to predict influenza pandemics, to anticipate levels of cross-protection, and to deliver vaccines in a timely manner, particularly to low income countries. The lessons learned from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic are of paramount importance to develop more effective preparations against future pandemics.
