Lessons Learnt from the pandemic

Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC) PAHO/WHO Pandemic Plans l Need to be prepared always, no comfort zone l Adequate intersectorial plan and planning is critical for each country l Plans require continuous evaluation and adaptation to meet the changing needs of the disease situation l Must include a vaccination strategy

Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC) PAHO/WHO Surveillance and response l Has to be efficient and timely l Requires clinical, epidemiological and laboratory input in a collaborative manner l Surge capacity to support surveillance and response is essential l Surveillance for respiratory illnesses (NOT just pandemic influenza) needs to be strengthened

Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC) PAHO/WHO Laboratory needs l Surge capacity for laboratory testing is essential l Reserves of laboratory supplies should be available prior to the influenza season. l A regional laboratory network is needed to support the detection of influenza and other respiratory illnesses.

Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC) PAHO/WHO Communication l Public education and reassurance have to be continuous and at all levels of society l Sharing of experiences and technical information needs to be ongoing and is essential within and between countries

Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC) PAHO/WHO Conclusion Caribbean Community responded well to a rapidly changing status of pandemic influenza Countries must be adequately prepared to identify and respond to other public health emergencies of international concern in the future with strong surveillance systems

Caribbean Epidemiology Centre (CAREC) PAHO/WHO Thank you for your kind attention
