The IFP has noted with "relief" that, according to the World Health
Organisation, the swine flu virus had not yet mutated into a more
serious disease and that the development of vaccines was proceeding on
track.

IFP Health Spokesperson Hilda Msweli MP said: "The IFP believes that
SA should not derive any false comfort from the WHO statement, as
welcome as it is. Too often medical interventions are reactive after
the horse has bolted. I think it would be good if the Health Minister
could clarify the DoH's strategy."

The IFP, however, called upon the Department of Health to clarify,
firstly, which segments of the population were being targeted to
receive the vaccine and, secondly, how the vaccine would be distributed.

Further noting that that DoH budget is perilously overstretched, the
IFP also called upon the Minister of Health to clarify whether global
funding has been requested or negotiated.
