Dr. Nikki Shindo of the World Health Organization encouraged clinicians Friday not to delay treatment of patients who show symptoms of the H1N1 virus. According to Shindo, treatment at early stage can stop the spread of virus.

“Do not delay the treatment, because sometimes clinician’s tend to wait… and this causes [an] unfortunate delay,” said Shindo during a press conference.

“The influenza virus is stable.That means this vaccine is matching the circulating virus,” Shindo added. “We expect adequate prevention and protection by the use of influenza vaccine.”
