According to reports, a new outbreak of swine flu is threatening Scotland and specialists deem that it is likely to take a toll on a lot of lives, compared to the previous year.
It is reported that in order to inoculate massive number of people against the deadly virus, which might arrive with more force this winter, the NHS will be organising a campaign next week.
Last year, swine flu had taken the life of a large number of people across the globe. The NHS said that the doctors are concerned regarding the return of swine flu. Specialists, who have analysed the transmission of earlier global flu outbreaks, dread that H1N1 may follow other endemics and make a strong comeback.
A spokesman said that it is anticipated that the H1N1 will be the major flu virus, which will do the rounds during the 2010-11 season.
He said, "Most people will recover from flu naturally within a week. However, those with health conditions, including heart and lung problems, are at an increased risk of experiencing serious complications as a result of flu".
The seasonal immunization programme by the NHS will start from 4 October. Along with H1N1, two more flu strains have been included in the new vaccine, which may surface in the winters.
