The Public Health Agency of Canada has listed this on its website (last modified April 26)
"Vaccine
A vaccine is any preparation intended to produce immunity to a disease by stimulating the production of antibodies. Canada has a plan for a vaccine to be produced domestically if a pandemic occurs, which will take about six months once the virus is identified. Enough pandemic vaccine will be produced to cover all Canadians."
Now that the virus has been declared a pandemic, what action is the government taking?

My partner has to go to a work conference in an office where there has been a swine flu case. He is hoping that it will cancelled on account of this, however if it isn't, what is the best way for him to protect himself against sickness? He is in very good health, but I want to put my own mind at rest. Thank you.
We will not frighten or scare of swine flu but we should take adequate precautionary measure:
• Cover our nose and mouth with a tissue when we cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after we use it.
• Wash our hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
• We will avoid touching our eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
• H1N1 is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people. If we get sick, CDC recommends that we stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
• Early detection and treatment are key to stopping any outbreak of influenza / H1N1 / swine flu. WHO guidance calls for isolating the sick and blanketing everyone around them with antiviral drugs and symptom relief medicines such as Tamiflu.
We should follow our routine health and hygiene measures, encourage our kids to wash their hands well, and encourage them when they’re sneezing or coughing to cover up and prevent others from getting contact.
