Has the world gone crazy? Everyone's talking about the swine flu epidemic, it's in all the newspapers and people are even wearing masks! Jasmine doesn't have a clue what's going on! Soon enough, after an unfortunate incident on a bus, she experiences swine flu first hand.

Luckily the Medikidz, a group of action-powered superheroes, are on hand to help Jasmine (and her trickster brother Vijay) understand what's happening! With Jasmine quarantined, Pump, Chi, Skinderella, Gastro, Axon and their trusty robot, Abacus, take Vijay to Mediland - a distant planet shaped like the human body - to teach him all about the havoc swine flu causes inside the body.

Join Vijay on his journey around Mediland as the Medikidz explain what swine flu is and where it comes from, and how the immune system normally works to fight off viruses and infections. The Medikidz and Vijay go right down to cellular level so that he can witness the battle inside the body against Swiney and his virus friends, and learn exactly how Tamiflu can aid the immune system army!
