| Concord, NH The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services is announcing the activation of New Hampshire’s H1N1 Flu Public Inquiry Line. DHHS is urging residents with questions about the H1N1 influenza virus, the H1N1 vaccine, and any other questions related to H1N1 to contact 2-1-1 NH by dialing 2-1-1.
“People have questions about the H1N1 virus and the status of the supply of H1N1 vaccine. We are activating the public inquiry line because we want to be sure people have access to good information are getting answers to their questions and are taking the proper steps to prevent the spread of the virus, which is why we are activating the public inquiry line,” said Gov. John Lynch. “We understand that people are concerned about H1N1, particularly with the delay in vaccines being made and shipped from private manufacturers. But we want to assure the public that the vaccine will be coming,” said DHHS Public Health Director Dr. José Montero. “We want to encourage everyone, in the absence of the vaccine, to take common sense preventative measures to avoid becoming sick with H1N1 or any other illness. This includes washing your hands frequently, covering your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and staying home from work or school if you are sick.” DHHS has been working with 2-1-1 NH, (a program of United Ways of NH in partnership with Public Service of NH, The State of NH and Exeter Hospital) to be ready to respond as the State’s public inquiry line for all questions regarding H1N1 influenza. Initially the public inquiry line will be open for H1N1 related questions from 8 am – 5 pm Monday through Friday. For more information on H1N1 flu, visit www.dhhs.nh.gov or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu. |

This note serves to inform the school community that influenza-like symptoms have been experienced by a number of our students. While I cannot with 100% accuracy know what strain of flu they are experiencing, I can let you know the symptoms and reiterate our efforts regarding prevention.
Symptoms being reported are (Generally):
Pediatrician offices are not testing for H1N1 . They are relying on symptoms being reported by parents and advising comfort measures until their bodies defenses kick in to fight off the viral invader.
PREVENTION
Tips on minimizing getting the Swine Flu
The portals of entry of the H1N1 virus are the nostrils and mouth/throat.
While you are still healthy and not showing symptoms of the infection, some very simple steps can be practiced.
RELIEF
If your child has influenza-like symptoms, you may give them Tylenol or Motrin to control the fever.
Keep them drinking lots of fluids. The body uses lots of its stored supply of water to help keep the fever down. Sips of clear liquids throughout the day is recommended. Popsicles made from Gatorade seem to be quite popular.
Use a cool mist humidifier to help the lungs thin secretions causing the cough.
Rest.
Whatever this strain of influenza is, I am not receiving reports of children who are critically ill.
I will keep you further posted of what is happening around our school community. Feel free to call me with questions or concerns.
Remember that if your child has had a fever, you must keep him/her home until 24 hours after the fever has subsided without the use of any fever reducing medication.
