Swine Flu |
Updated H1N1 Flu Information
The CDC reports that no states are reporting widespread flu activity, and that incidences remain low at this time. Lots of vaccine is available for both seasonal flu and H1N1. Our schools continue to partner with local clinics, County Health Depts, and others in this regard. It is possible for a 3rd wave of swine flu to materialize in the spring, but all looks good at present. Continue good hygiene practices to stay healthy and help prevent all contagions, washing hands thoroughly and frequently.
