KARACHI: After the influenza outbreak in Punjab, 38 cases of swine flu have been reported in Karachi over the span of past two weeks. Much like H1N1 virus, swine flu too is seasonal and can be controlled with minor precautionary measures. It is important that awareness about the importance of getting vaccinated is imparted to the public.
