I Just heard this on a news break but the only article i can find is 3 weeks old.


HEALTH experts are warning that Australians can expect a second wave of swine flu, possibly as early as the beginning of the school year just a fortnight away.

With a new report finding Australia's public health response failed to prevent the H1N1 pandemic last year - and that mass casualties and a collapse of the health system would have resulted had it not been a benign strain - the Australian Medical Association has said it is likely swine flu will strike again.

AMA vice-president Steven Hambleton, a member of the national pandemic planning committee, said yesterday it would be difficult to prevent a "second wave" as the virus was again sweeping the northern hemisphere.

It has also overtaken all other strains of the virus as the dominant variety of influenza.


IMO i think its just a scare tactic to get kids to take the shot before they go back to school.
