REMINDER! Kids Need a Second Dose

Flu Activity Continues—Prevention is Critical!
We still have more flu activity than in other years, and a new “wave” of flu is possible this season. Wash your hands, cover your coughs & sneezes, stay home when you’re sick and get vaccinated.
An epidemic caused by a new virus, for which people have no immunity, and spreads easily from person to person affecting a large number of people is called a “pandemic.” Pandemics spread rapidly around the world. The current 2009 H1N1 Influenza virus is considered a Pandemic by the World Health Organization. Vaccines for Pandemic Flus must be created quickly to be effective, because a vaccine cannot be developed until a specific human pandemic flu virus exists.
