The Center for Disease Control (CDC) defines a pandemic as a global disease outbreak. The flu is often central to media coverage concerning possible pandemics. In the past, reports have focused on particular strains. Regardless of the specific type the CDC classifies a flu pandemic as an outbreak of a new influenza virus that humans have little or no immunity to and that has no vaccine. The virus causes serious illness and can spread, globally, very quickly.
