MEDICAL

Seasonal Flu vaccinations will be resuming in the schools for grades K thru 5, for students for whom parents signed written consents. Therefore, PLEASE contact your school nurse, if you have had your child vaccinated elsewhere (even if it was at the Health Department).

As you may recall, we had to put the Seasonal Flu vaccination project on hold (by orders of the CDC), to go ahead with the H1N1 vaccinations in the schools. That project (H1N1) has been completed.

Middle and High School grades: If you would like your child to be vaccinated against Seasonal OR H1N1 Flu, please call the Health Department (410-228-3223), to schedule an appointment.

At this time, H1N1 vaccine is available to ANYONE (over the age of 6 months) whom wants it, by calling the Health Department for an appointment.

PREVENTION, PREVENTION, PREVENTION:

To help prevent the spread of Flu and other illnesses:
• Wash hands with soap and water, or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer, often.
• Cough and sneeze into your sleeve, not your hands.
• Do not send ill children to school, for any reason. As with any illness, allow 24hours to pass with no fever (or vomiting, or diarrhea) before sending your child back to school. Normal body temperature is less than 100 degrees.
• Plan for sick child care, ahead of time.

MORE HELPFUL INFORMATION:

Do Not give aspirin, or other products containing aspirin (salicylates) to children or teens, unless physician instructs to do so. Aspirin use may cause Reye’s Syndrome, a serious complication with neurological effects. Most children can tolerate acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) for aches and fever. Always check the package for age appropriateness and dosage (and expiration dates).
Seek immediate medical care if a child has difficult or labored breathing, trouble waking, unusual behavior, or seems to improve and then worsens.
Not drinking enough fluids can lead to dehydration, especially when the child has fever, diarrhea, or vomiting. Frozen juice pops are good to keep on hand, for when a sick child may not want much else.
