This article covers the chronology of the 2009 novel influenza A (H1N1)[1] epidemic. Flag icons denote the first announcements of confirmed cases by the respective nation-states, their first deaths (and other major events such as their first intergenerational cases and their first cases of zoonosis), and relevant sessions and announcements of the World Health Organization, European Union, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

Unless otherwise noted, references to terms like S-OIV, H1N1 and such, all refer to this new A(H1N1) strain and not to sundry other strains of H1N1 which are endemic in humans, birds and pigs.
