Being prepared for a human influenza pandemic
The possibility of a human influenza pandemic in Australia is real. The spread of the H5N1 'bird flu' virus since 2003 to a number of Asian, African and European countries poses the possibility that an influenza strain may develop that spreads rapidly between humans and to which no one has immunity.
QUT is committed to taking all reasonable steps to protect its students, staff and infrastructure from the impact of an influenza pandemic, and to continue its academic and business operations as far as possible before, during and immediately after a pandemic emergency.
