An influenza pandemic occurs when a new strain of influenza virus emerges, spreading around the world and infecting many people at once.
The Ministry of Health is working with the health sector and other Government agencies to ensure New Zealand is as prepared as possible for a potential pandemic.
These web pages provide background information (including legislation), FAQs and guidelines and advice on issues like how to prepare, media releases and resources plus relevant links to other Government websites.
