SIMPLE STEPS FOR KEEPING YOUR CHILD HEALTHY FROM SWINE FLU

 There is no vaccine available right now to protect against H1N1 flu, but there are some everyday actions that can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza.
o Wash hands frequently with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective.
o Cover mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing or coughing, and dispose of the tissue in a proper trash receptacle after use.
o Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
o Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
o If you become ill with influenza, or any other respiratory illness, stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
 If someone in your household gets symptoms of the flu, contact your health care provider. Your health care provider will determine whether influenza testing is needed or treatment is needed.
DON’T TAKE THE FLU LYING DOWN
 If you are concerned about your child’s symptoms, call your doctor early. Call your doctor immediately if your child has a chronic disease. Some children may benefit from an antiviral medication, which can be prescribed by a physician and can help lessen the duration of the virus and reduce the risk of complications, such as pneumonia
o To be effective, antiviral medication should be taken within 12-48 hours after flu symptoms begin
 If your child has seasonal or H1N1 flu, it is important for them to stay home from school, rest, and drink plenty of fluids.
 Additionally, notify the school nurse if your child has flu symptoms or a diagnosis of flu or H1N1 flu. Monitoring flu incidence will help keep students, faculty and our community healthy.
