New Hampshire Prepares for Possible Flu Pandemic

The media has been full of stories about the new influenza strain that seems to be emerging.

Nearly 150 people in Mexico have died from the new swine flu and dozens of people in three other countries, including the US, have become sick.

Here in New Hampshire, no case has come to light, but state health officials are working hard to prepare in case it does.

Dr. Jose Montero is the State's Epidemiologist.

He tells NHPR's Mark Bevis that the world may be in the beginning stages of a new flu pandemic, but we just don't know yet.

So Montero urges caution.
