H1N1 is in our community. It is occurring more frequently in people 0 to 18 years of age. Although most people recover at home, some children and adults get very ill and require hospitalization and intensive care. Whether or not there are confirmed cases of H1N1 at school, it’s important that you assume H1N1 flu is in all schools and take steps to protect your family from becoming ill.
