Should I travel to india with my family with the current swine flu epidemic?

Q: 

Hi Dr Gaurav,

My daughter have been visiting you during our trip to India. 

I wanted a piece of advice form you. Is it advisable to travel to India these days in view of the spread of Swine Flu in the country. 

I have a 11 month old son and a 6 year old daughter. 

I really appreciate your advice.

A: Yes, you can certainly travel to India

The number of swine flu cases reported in Jan / Feb 2015 in India are minuscule compared to the population of India, and I would recommend that you take the Influenza vaccine for everyone and come to India,

Regards

Dr Gaurav Gupta
