Pandemic Flu Plan

In 2007, Government completed a plan to deal with an influenza pandemic.

According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, 10 to 25 percent of the world’s population will be affected if a pandemic develops. This will impact national economies and essential services. Because Cayman is vulnerable due to the speed of international travel, the Public Health Department works closely with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and WHO to guarantee appropriate assistance for securing vaccine and antiviral drugs in the event of the disease reaching Cayman.
