Health officials say the second wave of the H1N1 flu in the U.S. may have reached its peak after cases of the flu continued to drop over the past four weeks. However, there is a possibility of "another uptick of activity late this year or early next year" similar to what happened during the 1957 flu pandemic, said Thomas Skinner, spokesman for the CDC.

U.S. health officials said the reported slowing in the spread of H1N1 flu cases in the country will give people more time to get vaccinated. Despite the recent drop in H1N1 flu cases, experts said the flu virus is "unpredictable" and a new surge in cases still could occur. Yahoo!/Agence France-Presse (12/1)
