H1N1 FLU IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In an effort to increase safety in our schools & enhance preparedness, I would encourage you to continue educating students, staff & parents concerning flu prevention. Following is the Directive from Dr. Parker of Tarrant County Public Health.
Tarrant County Public Health’s Medical Director/Health Authority Dr. Sandra Parker wants to send a message to parents in the community on how to keep their child healthy this flu season:
· Talk with and teach your child about cough and sneeze etiquette and proper hand washing.
· Get your child vaccinated for seasonal flu and for H1N1 flu when the vaccine is available.
· Remind your child not to eat or drink after their friends at school or in day-care settings.
· If your child is ill, keep him or her at home. This helps everyone.
· And to parents of a child who is at higher risk of catching the flu or developing complications from the flu, be particularly mindful of your child’s health.
