Three or four times a century, a radical change occurs in the genetic make-up of the influenza A virus and a new strain of the virus, suddenly appears.

As a result, the protection and immunity that people have developed against influenza may not protect them from this new strain. When this happens, everyone would be susceptible to infection and would be at greater risk of developing severe complications like pneumonia. The virus may even spread rapidly around the world, causing an influenza pandemic.

The frequency of pandemics is unpredictable, but most experts agree that another one is likely to occur within the next 5 to 10 years. This is based on the historical patterns of pandemics - the average time elapsed between each of the last four pandemics was 25 years. It has been over 30 years since the last pandemic.
