• As swine flu pandemic ends, Canada must rethink flu-fighting strategy: expert"We need to be prepared to shift rather quickly our seasonal flu programs to reflect that new reality," said Dr. Kumanan Wilson, Canada research chair in public health policy at the University of Ottawa. "It's a new disease. It's not the same disease as we've been treating. It's a disease that affects a different population with a different mortality rate."
