The World Health Organisation in Fiji will receive a batch of vaccines in December to help protect against the H1N1 flu virus. Since the initial reports of the H1N1 2009 influenza pandemic, the virus has spread worldwide. The WHO will distribute the vaccine to Pacific Island countries. It is hoped this will protect people from the second wave of the virus which is spreading in the northern hemisphere.
