flu pandemic preparedness

Flu pandemic preparedness involves planning and actions to prevent, detect, and respond to a widespread outbreak of flu across many countries. This includes developing vaccines, stockpiling antivirals, enhancing healthcare capacity, and promoting good hygiene practices. Public health organizations monitor flu activity, coordinate with hospitals, and communicate risks and prevention strategies to the public. The goal is to minimize illness, save lives, and reduce societal disruption by acting quickly and effectively when a new or highly contagious flu strain emerges.
