H1N1 and Seasonal Flu Information
As predicted by experts, flu season has started early this year. NNPS collaborates with the Peninsula Health District to help decrease exposure to flu and encourage parents to have a plan.
Newport News Public Schools continues to monitor the novel influenza A H1N1 virus (nH1N1), provide information to our schools and community, and work with the Peninsula Health District. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has issued online guidance to help decrease exposure to regular seasonal flu and 2009 H1N1 flu while limiting the disruption of day-to-day activities including school.
H1N1 Permission Form
Seasonal flu shots are available at local providers. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) advises that getting vaccinated is the most important way to prevent the spread of flu germs. So it is important to get the seasonal flu vaccine now. It is especially recommended for people that are over age 50, children, pregnant women, and people with underlying conditions like heart and lung diseases.
Flu season has begun early and most cases are being caused by the novel 2009 H1N1 virus. Widespread flu activity is reported in Virginia and 20 other states; this is unusual for September. Novel 2009 H1N1 virus appears to be no more severe than "regular" seasonal flu virus but is occurring more frequently in younger individuals.
