Underline and correct ten mistakes in the following passage. Write the corrections in the space given below.

With Europe facing the more serious flu epidemic in years, the World Health Organization is warning the public, specially the sick and elderly, to do an inoculation now. Health experts warn that this winter’s outbreak could be as severe as the 1989 epidemic, who killed 25,000 people in Britain only. WHO has stressed the importance in vaccination, and several countries are already taking precautions to ensure that those at high-risk categories, such like diabetes and those with heart or lung complaints, are vaccinated. Nearly all previous strains of flu are known to originate in China and the Far East, and whereas in the past, infection spread slowly across the world, in these days of mass air travel, rapid global infection is a great threat. Sweden has reported cases of para-influenza, effecting mainly children, and Danish doctors had recorded 1,500 cases of flu in the past week.
