    Public health agencies across the globe are working to mitigate the impact of the 2009 pandemic caused by swine-origin in?uenza A (H1N1) virus. Prior to the development of an effective vaccine, the primary modes of control include careful surveillance, social distancing and hygiene measures, strategic school closures, other community measures, and the prudent use of antiviral medications to prevent infection or reduce the severity and duration of symptoms.
