Pandemic influenza has been a concern since the documentation of the 1918 "Spanish" flu. The potential for a novel flu virus to emerge and cause a global pandemic is real and present. Every year many people suffer severe morbidity and mortality to the seasonal strain of the flu, and a pandemic with a novel virus increases those numbers. This article describes the development, revision, and ultimately the enactment of a pandemic respiratory infectious disease plan used during the response to the 2009 H1N1 flu. The plan and related actions provided a roadmap for a robust response to the pandemic, including the protection of health care workers, visitors and patients and increased vaccination rates.
自1918年“西班牙”流感被记录以来，大流行性流感一直备受关注。新型流感病毒出现并引发全球大流行的可能性是切实存在的。每年都有许多人因季节性流感毒株而遭受严重发病和死亡，而新型病毒引发的大流行会使这些数字增加。本文描述了在应对2009年H1N1流感期间使用的大流行性呼吸道传染病计划的制定、修订以及最终颁布情况。该计划及相关行动为有力应对大流行提供了路线图，包括保护医护人员、访客和患者以及提高疫苗接种率。
