The resident of the State of Mexico, on the edge of the capital, was hospitalised on April 24 in Mexico City and died the same day, the statement said. Authorities are monitoring farms near the victim's home and have established a permanent monitoring system to detect other cases in wildlife in the area, the statement added.
Based on the available information, the risk to the general population is "low", the Geneva-based agency added. The WHO indicates that it has concluded agreements with 15 vaccine manufacturers to have real-time access to around 10 percent of the production of future vaccines in the event of an avian flu pandemic.Thinking of smarter buys?
