H1N1 – District update and relevant information:
The symptoms of the H1N1 influenza virus are similar to those of the seasonal flu with include fever, cough, and/or sore throat. The virus spreads quickly and easily. If you suspect that your child is getting influenza, keep your child home for at least 24 hours after their fever is gone without fever-reducing medications. A fever is defined as 100’F or 37.8’C.
It is also important to teach your child how to reduce their risk of getting influenza and protect others from infection.
- Clean Hands frequently – Wash with hot, soapy water for 20 seconds.
- Use hand sanitizer if hand washing facilities are unavailable. Gel, rubs, and hand wipes all work well as long as they contain at least 60% alcohol.
- Cover coughs and sneezes with tissues or by coughing/sneezing into the inside of the elbow. It is best not to cough or sneeze into your hands.
- Contact your healthcare provider for information about the H1N1 vaccine and the seasonal vaccine that will be available this fall/winter. Get your children vaccinated with both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines.
The district is keeping in constant contact with the State Department of Health for any/all updated information.
