Swine flu is caused by the H1N1 influenza virus. It spreads through coughing, sneezing or touching contaminated surfaces. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, cough, body aches, and fatigue. High risk groups include young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with pre-existing medical conditions. Tamiflu is the recommended treatment. Prevention involves covering coughs and sneezes, frequent hand washing, avoiding touching the face, and distancing from infected individuals.
Dengue (pronounced DENG-gay) can affect anyone but tends to be more severe in people with compromised immune systems. Because it is caused by one of four serotypes of virus, it is possible to get dengue fever multiple times. However, an attack of dengue produces immunity for a lifetime to that particular serotype to which the patient was exposed.

Immunization is the most effective way of protecting the human body from infectious disease. Immunization is a process by which an individual’s immune system become fortified by vaccine against an agent.
Immunization program are an Integral and important part of the health activities of every country in the world.
Immunization is the process whereby person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine.
Dengue virus rarely causes death. However, the infection can progress into a more serious condition known as severe dengue or dengue hemorrhagic fever. Symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever include: bleeding under the skin. frequent vomiting.
Swine flu is a respiratory disease. It is caused by the influenza viruses that infect the respiratory tract of pigs. It can lead to symptoms such as a barking cough, decreased appetite, nasal secretions, and listless behaviour; the virus can be transmitted to humans. The Swine flu vaccination or H1N1 vaccination is crucial to provide immunity against swine flu.

The new virus has made the jump from pigs to humans and has demonstrated it can also pass from human to human. This is why it is demanding so much attention from health authorities. The virus passes from human to human like other types of flu, either through coughing, sneezing, or by touching infected surfaces, although little is known about how the virus acts on humans.

25. Vaccine
While declaring the Pandemic to be over in August
2010, WHO conveyed that Pandemic Influenza A
(HINI) virus that caused Pandemic [2009-2010]
would circulate as Seasonal Influenza virus and
would continue to do so for years to come.
WHO recommended vaccine only for High Risk Group
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare recommends
the trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine.
26. Vaccine
The ICMR has recommended on the following
Seasonal Influenza vaccine composition, for the
period 2017-2018. The recommended Trivalent
vaccine should have:
an A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus
an A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 (H3N2) – like virus
a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus
27. Vaccine
The available vaccine takes about 2-3 weeks for
development of immunity. Hence for the health care
workers working in an environment with likelihood of
exposure to Influenza virus, vaccine should be
administered at least one month prior to the
commencement of the season, till such time use of
chemoprophylaxis may be considered.
28. Vaccine
The available vaccine takes about 2-3 weeks for
development of immunity. Hence for the health care
workers working in an environment with likelihood of
exposure to Influenza virus, vaccine should be
administered at least one month prior to the
commencement of the season, till such time use of
chemoprophylaxis may be considered.
29. Limitations of the Influenza
Vaccination
Influenza vaccination is most effective when
circulating viruses are well-matched with vaccine
viruses.
Even with appropriate matching, efficacy of vaccine
may be about 70% to 80%.
In case the locally circulating virus is different from
vaccine virus recommended by WHO, it may be
partially effective or not be effective at all.
Hence, vaccine should not give a false sense of
security.
30. High Risk Groups for whom
vaccine is recommended by WHO
Health Care workers, working in hospital / institutional
settings (doctors, nurses, paramedics) with likelihood
of exposure to Influenza virus
Young children
Pregnant women;
Persons aged 65 years or older;
Patients with Comorbidity
Patients with compromised immunity
31. USE OF MASKS
There are two types of masks which are recommended
for various categories of personnel depending upon the
work environment;
1. Triple layer surgical mask 2. N 95 Respirator
Change the mask after six hours or as soon as they
become wet.
Disposable masks are never to be reused and should be
disposed off.
Never touch the potentially infected outer surface of
the mask while removing it.
32. USE OF MASKS
There is no scientific evidence to show health benefit of
using masks for members of public. In fact erroneous
use of masks or continuous use of a disposable mask
for longer than 6 hours or repeated use of same mask
may actually increase risk of infection further.
In the hospital setting used masks should be disposed
off in the identified infectious waste disposal
bag/container.
In community settings, it may be disposed off either by
burning or deep burial.
33. Triple layer surgical mask
Suspect/ probable/confirmed cases of influenza.
The care provider in home care settings
Close family contacts of such cases undergoing home
care should also use Triple layer surgical mask.
All medical personnel (Doctor, nursing and paramedical
staff) would use Disposable Triple layer surgical mask
while interacting with patients in screening area.
All patients, Medical and nursing staff in the isolation
wards.
34. Triple layer surgical mask
Personnel involved in handling dead bodies of
suspect/confirmed cases (Mortuary)
Ambulance Staff including driver.
Doctors /Private practitioners with other health
workers in screening centres / general practice
Health workers involved in community surveillance
Security personnel working in an infected/ potentially
infected area for example Influenza ward in a hospital,
screening centre etc.
35. N 95 Respirator
Staff involved in any aerosol generating procedures
like suction, intubation, nebulization, etc. they must
use N95 Respirator
Medical personnel need to collect clinical samples from
patients.
Medical personnel in ICU
Medical personnel in laboratory
