Marktanalyse - Cough, Cold and Allergy (hay Fever) Remedies - South Africa

An outbreak of the H1N1 (swine flu) raised the concerns of many consumers. South Africa had no choice but to develop its own flu vaccine to combat the virus, as first world countries opted to cover their own populations before making the vaccine available to the developing world. Approximately 5,000 cases were reported in South Africa and 15 people died from it. In anticipation, consumers used OTC products in an attempt to alleviate cold and flu symptoms.
