"Thanks to the amendments tabled by my political group (the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats)), this report contains constructive proposals to help us learn from the health crisis caused by the H1N1 virus, notably, by enhancing European coordination.
Indeed, the initial report contained a number of inaccuracies and could have discouraged people from having the inoculation. However, the report as adopted today seeks to restore the confidence of our fellow citizens in health crisis management. Health professionals will need to be more involved in drawing up and implementing a strategy for preventing and combating a pandemic. We can no longer allow such confusion and suspicion to surround immunisation campaigns.
It will be essential to improve communication by taking into account how easy it is for rumours with no scientific basis to circulate on new media and the Internet. Fortunately, the influenza was less serious than anticipated, but it would be dangerous to underestimate the degree of unpredictability and potential severity of future pandemics."@en1
