BEIJING, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- China's health ministry said Monday the prevalence of A/H1N1 flu this winter would not be as serious as it was in 2009, though the country has entered its peak season for influenza.
According to current monitoring results, the incidence of A/H1N1 flu in China remains at "a low level," Ministry of Health spokesman Deng Haihua said at a press conference in Beijing.
This was because the world had been in post-pandemic period for nearly half a year, and because China had conducted a large-scale vaccination program against A/H1N1 flu, Deng said in response to a question concerning possible outbreaks of A/H1N1 flu.
According to figures from the ministry, there were 146 A/H1N1 flu cases recorded nationwide in December 2010. None of them caused death.
About 28,000 confirmed cases of A/H1N1 flu were reported in December 2009.
