| HEALTH NEWS |
Flu season is just around the corner. The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against this serious disease. CDC recommends that all children aged 6 months up to their 19th birthday get a flu vaccine.
While influenza outbreaks can happen as early as October, most of the time flu activity peaks in January or later.
Because flu viruses change every year, the vaccine is updated annually. So even if you or your children got a flu vaccine last year, you both still need to get a flu vaccine this season to be protected.
Symptoms of the Flu
Symptomsof flu include fever (usually high), headache, tiredness, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and muscle aches. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea also can occur, but are much more common in children than adults.
Spread of the Flu
Flu viruses spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with the flu.
Prevent the Spread of the Flu
- Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze—throw away the tissue after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. The CDC recommends that when you wash your hands-with soap and warm water-that you wash for 15-20 seconds. That is about the time it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice. If water is not near, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.
- Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs often spread this way.
It can be very hard to decide whether to send your child to school or to keep them home. Some guidelines are:
- If they have a temperature of 100 or above, or 99.6 with symptoms such as headache, sore throat, or stomachache; please keep them home and for 24 hours AFTER the temperature returns to normal without the aid of fever reducers.
- If they have been ill with vomiting or diarrhea, please keep them home for 24 hours AFTER their last episode. Even if they are feeling better, it takes about 24 hours to rid the body of the virus and to not be contagious to others.
- You know your child better than anyone and know when they are not at their best.
