Big Picture

 

Influenza special issue


(September 2009)

This special issue looks at the nature of influenza, drugs and vaccines that can fight it, the current H1N1 pandemic, how it compares to previous strains and what international and national bodies are doing about it. Half the length of a regular 'Big Picture', it is still packed full of interesting information and topical features.
