H1N1 update

September 14th, 2009 · No Comments
N1N1

The H1N1 updates should now be entitled influenza like illness (ILI).  In most cases, the H1N1 test is not given to a patient showing flu symptoms.  The patient is told to stay home, take normal precautions, and return to work or school after they are free of symptoms for 24 hours. 

We are tracking the ILI symptoms at each school for staff and students.  If there are any major changes, I will post information on this site. 

The immunizations should be ready the first week of October, but women who are pregnant, and health care workers will be the first to get the shots.  It may be months before the general population is eligible for the shots.
