Wearing face masks by either the index case as source control or the health-care workers as contacts has shown to be equally effective in the control of nosocomial transmission of pandemic influenza A H1N1 (Cheng et al., 2010) . Timely implementation of infection control measures by single room isolation of index case with strict contact precautions significantly reduced the incidence of hospital-acquired norovirus infection from 131 (baseline) to 16 cases per 1000 potentially infectious patient-days (P < 0.001) (Cheng et al., 2011) . When there is no highly effective antiviral for the treatment of a severe viral illness, especially in patients at the extremes of age or with medical comorbidities, and infection control measures are difficult to implement or comply with, vaccination is the final option to prevent massive outbreaks.	./cache/cord-255697-trig04hd.txt	./txt/cord-255697-trig04hd.txt
