Since the onset of 2009 H1N1 influenza outbreak, Chiba prefecture had been taking several measures to mitigate its impact, including phone counseling, supporting outpatient clinics, and coordinating hospitals to prevent the overflow of patients. These measures seem to contribute to the very low mortality caused by pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus infection during the pandemic in Chiba prefecture. At the same time, it gave us several lessons to prepare for the next--possibly more serious--pandemic. Here, we describe those lessons learnt as well as steps to be taken in the future.
自2009年甲型H1N1流感疫情爆发以来，千叶县采取了多项措施来减轻其影响，包括电话咨询、支持门诊诊所，以及协调医院以防止患者溢出。这些措施似乎有助于千叶县在大流行期间降低2009年甲型H1N1流感病毒感染导致的极低死亡率。与此同时，它也给了我们一些应对下一次——可能更严重的——大流行的经验教训。在此，我们描述这些经验教训以及未来要采取的措施。
