The H1N1 virus is a new strain of pandemic influenza. People have no natural immunity to protect against this virus. Some people born after 1957 may have some immunity due to a similar influenza virus that circulated at that time.

This series of video presentations provides an overview of the virus, its symptoms, and what you can do to prevent the virus spread and protect yourself, your family and people in your community.
