Description

The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the impact on Alberta's health care system and its response to the Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus (pH1N1). With the first and second wave of pH1N1 complete, it is possible to do a quick assessment of the magnitude of the threat it represented to Albertans and the success of the health care system response. By combining surveillance data with the expertise from both Alberta Health and Wellness and Alberta Health Services, the report takes a comprehensive view of the two pandemic waves and provides contextual information to guide a public health response if a third pandemic wave materializes.
