Advice on planning for a human influenza pandemic
This guidance is to assist childcare and early years settings in planning for a human flu pandemic.
Experts advise that a further flu pandemic is inevitable, but cannot say when it will happen. When it happens, it is expected to spread rapidly to all areas of the UK and have a significant impact. Depending on the severity of the pandemic, 25-50% of the population may be become ill at some stage during one or more waves, each lasting 3-4 months, and 50,000 - 700,000 more people than usual may die.
