WHO head vaccinated against H1N1 flu

05 January 2010 18:16 (UTC +04:00)

Baku. Ziya Agazade â€“ APA. The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has finally been vaccinated against H1N1 flu, a virus expected to infect more people in coming months, the U.N. agency said on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

Margaret Chan, WHO director-general, was vaccinated on December 30, a day after admitting at a news conference that she had not got round to it due to travel and other demands.

H1N1, commonly known as swine flu, has spread to 208 countries and territories, according to WHO which declared an influenza pandemic last June. The virus has officially killed at least 12,220 people, but the true death toll is much higher and could take two years to establish, it says.

Azerbaijan and Mongolia are scheduled later this week to become the first developing countries to receive donated H1N1 vaccine doses.
