EXPERT OPINION FROM THE ANNUAL PEDIATRIC INFECTIOUS DISEASES CONFERENCE
Experts all agree that it’s not a matter of "if’" another worldwide, high-mortality flu pandemic such as the one that occurred after the end of World War I will happen, it’s simply a question of "when."
"It might occur in 5 years, or it might not happen during our lifetime," according to Dr. Sullender.
He reported receiving research funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and has no relevant financial relationships.
