Swine Flu

Swine flu is the common name given to a new strain of influenza. The current outbreak has been designated a pandemic because it is now spreading in several countries. Pandemic status relates to the spread of the outbreak and not the severity of the flu.

The Government has set up a Swine Flu Information Line on 0800 1 513 513.
