But Zeng reminded the public to get seasonal flu vaccinations, as more flu cases are expected in the coming weeks. Fewer than 5 percent of people on the Chinese mainland have received flu shots - far fewer than the United States 27 percent, experts pointed out. This years epidemic is similar to previous years in terms of strain varieties, viral activity and prevalence, Beijing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention deputy director He Xiong said. Type B and the H3N2 are causing most of this years cases, government figures showed. However, a 3-year-old boy in East Chinas Jiangsu province came down with the rare European avian flu-like H1N1 swine influenza A, local media reported on Tuesday. He said it is unlikely the H1N1 variety will become this years dominant strain, because many people were already infected in 2009 and about 100 million people were vaccinated in a nationwide program since early 2010. People have become increasingly fearful of the flu, and particularly of the H1N1 strain, as deaths have recently been reported in several countries, including Italy, Denmark and Jordan. A serious H1N1 case was reported in Beijing last week. There is no need to worry about H1N1. Both the H1N1 vaccinations early last year and the recent seasonal flu shots can protect people from the strain, He said. Zhong Nanshan, an epidemiologist in Guangdongs provincial capital of Guangzhou, said all kinds of flu viruses, including H1N1, could be lethal. Timely detection and proper treatment can avert severe flu cases and related deaths, he said. Zhong said clinical guidelines he compiled with more than 20 experts will soon be issued to ensure a better flu response nationwide. In August 2010, the World Health Organization declared the end of 2009s H1N1 flu pandemic, which killed more than 18,000 worldwide since it appeared in April 2009.
