Chapter 9: Vaccine

Influenza vaccination is the best way to prevent disease and death during a pandemic. However, a vaccine will likely not be available until 4-6 months after the pandemic virus is identified. While vaccine may not be available in time for the first wave of illness in the Region of Peel, it should be available in time to provide protection during the second wave (for those who have not yet been ill).
