TWO groups of Antiviral effective in Treatment & Prevention of Infleunza virus:Adamananes: THEY ARE CHEAPER & LESS EFFECTIVE Amantadine Remantadine• Inhibitors of Infleunza Neuraminidazs Oseltamivir ZanamivirAuthorities Prefer the SECOND GROUP Professor Jamal R Al-Rawi MBChB, MSc, FICMS, 2016Antiviral Medications specially for high risk are effective
Professor Jamal R Al-Rawi MBChB, MSc, FICMS, 2016Practice healthy habits
Wash your hands often with soap and water. Use waterless alcohol-based hand gels (containing at least 60% alcohol) when soap is not available and hands are not visibly dirty. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and put your used tissue in a wastebasket.Professor Abdul H M Al-Hadi, MBChB, MSc, PhD, 2016
Healthy habits
If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands. Wash your hands after coughing or sneezing, using soap and water or an alcohol-based hand gel. Wear a surgical mask if you are in contact with other people.Professor Jamal R Al-Rawi MBChB, MSc, FICMS, 2016
Other Normal Precautions
Pack a travel health kit that contains basic first aid and medical supplies. Identify the health-care resources in the area(s) you will be visiting. Check if your health insurance plan will cover you abroad.Professor Jamal R Al-Rawi MBChB, MSc, FICMS, 2016

• Influenza vaccine changing so matching for an effective vaccine is difficult Because WHO needs to select the virus TWICE/year Northern & Southern hemisphere.• The WHO recommended vaccine contains no swine virus therefore it is not effective in preventing swine flu since there is no cross antigenicity between swine & human infleunza virus Professor Jamal R Al-Rawi MBChB, MSc, FICMS, 2016This Site Renew the world cases every 4 hours

Highly Contagious ARD of the pigs
Pigs Morbidity High, Mortality Low 1-4%Droplet Spread asymptomatic carriers pigs exist
Epidemics among Pigs happen yearly therefore vaccination is routine
