H5N1 Preparation
Preparation is important when dealing with a possible flu pandemic. Its important to teach citizens how to prepare themselves as well as there families and loved ones from the bird flu, especially if it were to mutate and turn into a flu pandemic. in order to protect yourself from the bird flu virus, its important to stay far away from wild birds, no not touch egg shells, as they often are contaminated by bird droppings, wash your hands frequently, and cover your mouth if you cough or sneeze. These are easy ways to prepare and prevent the spreading of the bird flu. Bird flu can not be passed from person to person, as it in animal virus and the only way for a human to contract the virus is only by making contact with an infected bird. Preparing for the bird flu virus is something that a lot of health organisations are taking interest in. If this virus happens to mutate, it can cause a world wide flu pandemic, a way the the governments are trying to prepare in case this happens is by created bird flu vaccinations. In the case that the bird flu does mutate, and humans are able to pass this virus on to one another, the vaccine will prevent the spread and will possibly prepare and prevent the bird flu from turning into a world wide flu pandemic. By having the FDA approve these vaccinations ahead of time helps in the preparation of preventing a flu pandemic.
