Confronted with an unrelenting spread of the virus in urban, semi-urban and rural areas in and around Pune which claimed its first swine flu fatality on August 3, the state health authorities are eagerly awaiting the findings of a research undertaken by National Institute of Virology (NIV) here on herd immunity.
