Pandemic has peaked in most of country

The H1N1 flu pandemic has peaked in most parts of the country, top Chinese epidemiologists said yesterday, even as the World Health Organization (WHO) said the worst was not over internationally.

Since January, the Influenza B virus has replaced the H1N1 strain as the dominant flu virus in most parts of the Chinese mainland, including Beijing, He Xiong, deputy director of the Beijing Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), told China Daily yesterday.

But he said the nationwide H1N1 flu vaccination, which is free and optional, is still underway and has so far covered at least 78.3 million people.
