H1N1 over

The H1N1 pandemic is officially over. 

The World Health Organization (WHO) yesterday declared an end to the flu which killed 18,000 people in 24 countries. 

It started in April 2009 in Mexico, the country hardest hit, and was declared a global pandemic by the WHO two months later in June.

Over 300 million people received the vaccine but supplies were low.

I was not among the vaccinees. I didn't even get a cold last year.
