The World Health Organization announced today that health experts would review the status of the H1N1 pandemic in a few weeks to decide whether it has peaked.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended on Thursday that this year's seasonal flu vaccine in the northern hemisphere should include protection against three strains, including the pandemic H1N1 virus.

The World Health Organization’s top influenza expert said on Thursday it would convene its emergency committee later this month to examine whether the H1N1 flu pandemic has peaked.

Many European governments say that they will fast-track the testing of a new swine flu vaccine in an attempt to vaccinate people before winter, although some experts say they are concerned about risking safety and giving proper vaccine doses.

An official with the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday that a Tamiflu-resistant strain of the H1N1 virus does not appear to be spreading in a consistent or troublesome way.
