H1N1 and other Flu Updates

Part of Serving School Nurses Statewide is making sure they are the best informed school nurses they can be. Therefore, we are proud to offer an addition to our website for our members and guests - the most up-to date and useful information on H1N1 (also known as the Swine Flu) , as well as information on other flu issues across the state and country. Thanks to the folks at Toucan Ed, we have a power point and a fact sheet that can be downloaded for use in the classroom as well as teaching clinic and school staff. Also, see below this note for the latest flu-related headlines from the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
