H1N1 update for October
Illnesses are here
In the September newsletter we informed everyone that the school would be giving the regular flu vaccine and the H1N1 vaccine. We are still waiting for another update to see if or when these vaccines will be available to us. As you witness on the news, information changes on a daily basis. At one point there were plenty of the seasonal flu vaccines available. The next day there is a shortage of vaccines. At this time we have not been able to give out any vaccines at school.
USD 420 has also had at least two verified cases of H1N1 virus. One of the challenges we face is in notifying parents of these verified cases. By the time we were notified by the Center of Disease Control (CDC) the students were over the virus and back to school. This delay in information does not allow us to notify parents of the verified virus until it is too late. We all must continue to practice the healthy life style procedures of washing hands, eating healthy and staying home if we are ill.
