Swine Flu: Influenza A (H1N1) not as devastating as originally thought
It seems that the Swine Flu or Influenza A (H1N1) virus was not as virulent as was feared.
It was initially thought that the fatality rate from Swine Flu was as high as 6% but after some reclassification and taking into account the underreporting of milder cases, it would seem that the fatality rate is not that high.
Our Ministry of Health will progressively downgrade our DORSCON Status from Orange to Yellow by 11 May. What that means is that when you visit the clinic on 11 May, everything should be much the same as before. That a big relief as I often have to show our younger patients how to stick out their tongues by demonstrating it myself!
However, parents are still adviced to be vigilant and to observe a good level of hygiene. Please do not send your child to school if they are having a fever. Everyone can do their part to control the spread of highly infectious diseases like Swine Flu.
We have managed to put in an order of Flu vaccinations which should be coming in next week. As there are limited stock, please call the clinic to reserve your vaccine and we will inform you when the stock gets in.

Swine Flu: Safety precautions at the clinic
With the impending arrival of Swine flu on our shores, our clinic has implemented the necessary precautions to protect our patients.
If you are having a fever and flu symptoms, please let our staff know. You will have your temperature taken and if it is elevated, you will be required to sit outside the clinic. All this is necessary to prevent the spread of the disease.
So far there has not been any Swine Flu cases in Singapore, but it is only a matter of time before we get our first case. The global community is much better prepared after SARS and Bird Flu which might explain why this time round the impact of Swine Flu is not has devastating as expected. But we still need to be on our guard and look after ourselves and our family as well as the community around us by doing the necessary things to prevent the virus from spreading.
