“…Examples of disease movement include widespread person-to-person spread of diseases caused by respiratory viruses, such as influenza and SARS, or enteric organisms, such as Vibrio cholera, or by vectors, such as dengue. In the case of pandemic influenza A (H1N1), there was widespread transmission in both hemispheres between April and September 2009, that is early in the influenza season in the temperate southern hemisphere but out of season in the northern hemisphere (Barrelet, Bourrier, Burton-Jeangros, & Schindler, 2013). This out-of-season transmission is what characterizes an influenza pandemic.…”

The Pandemic has a long history, but the term itself is yet to be defined by many medical texts. There have been a number of significant pandemics recorded in human history where pandemic related crises have caused enormous negative impacts on health, economies, and even national security globally. This article will explore the literature for the concept and history of pandemics, providing a summary of key features with consequent discussion on the negative impacts on health, economy, social and global security yielded by pandemics and disease outbreaks.

“…Rumors provide parallel information, especially when official communication is limited to a top-down approach." [13]. Family physicians' general perception was that the negative media effects undermined the credibility of the official communication, and it was the key factor of poor vaccine uptake.…”

Purpose: The general purpose of TELL ME study was to give an insight into the experiences of European family physicians with management of H1N1 pandemic flu. Methods: Qualitative research methods (focus group discussions, oneto-one interviews, and online data collection) were used to explore family doctors' opinion and suggestions. Overall 158 family physicians took part in the study from six European countries. Results: Family doctors' most important experience was that the official campaign was not able to compensate negative effects of the mass media. Due to the poor evidence-based information about new vaccines, it was difficult to convince the public and some health care professionals too. Lack of unified directives -under unclear circumstances -made the routine patient care more difficult and hampered the collaboration between different health care providers. Family physicians felt a pressure from health authorities to achieve high immunization rate, but got only a little support from them. Despite the difficulties, vaccination program was a success, mainly among high-risk population. For better handling of a future pandemic, Hungarian family physician made many general and practical suggestions.

“…But, unlike traditional health knowledge communication controlled by authoritative organizations, this user-generated health knowledge is more prone to result in misleading information, some of which is no more than rumors or gossip, inhibiting the communication of real health knowledge and breaking the balance of information ecology in social media. For example, rumors about the H1N1 virus in Japan and the H7N9 virus in China both lead to widespread trust crises with authorities (Barrelet et al, 2013;Shigemura et al, 2015). The 2013 rumor about the hepatitis B vaccine resulted in a serious public health crisis.…”

Abstract:The communication of health knowledge in social media plays an important role in public health literacy and health behavior promotion. But with the accumulation of user-generated health information in social media, more and more misleading health information, health gossip and health rumors are inhibiting the communication of health knowledge and breaking the balance of information ecology in social media. This study focuses on the information ecology in social media and contributes to the communication of health knowledge in social media ecology, highlighting the characteristics of health knowledge and the special Chinese culture. A communication explanatory framework was constructed and 319 samples were tested leveraging PLS. The results indicate that fear communication and trust communication both act as effective communication forms contributing to the communication of health knowledge; face communication acts as a barrier constraining the trust communication while no effect on fear communication.
