Abstract
The emergence of pandemic influenza (H1N1) 2009 in spring 2009 has provided a real test to the pandemic preparations that Canada, other countries and the World Health Organization have undertaken. Although formidable challenges remain, Canada is as well prepared as any country to address the second wave of the pandemic expected in the fall.RésuméL’émergence de la grippe pandémique (H1N1) au printemps 2009 a permis de tester dans des conditions réelles les préparatifs de lutte contre la pandémie amorcés par le Canada, les autres pays et l’Organisation mondiale de la santé. Il reste des obstacles formidables à surmonter, mais le Canada est aussi bien préparé que les autres pays à affronter la deuxième vague de la pandémie, attendue à l’automne.
