The 2009-2010 Flu Season

Flu seasons are unpredictable in a number of ways, including the timing of the beginning, severity, and length of the flu season.

This flu season (2009-2010), there are more uncertainties than usual because of the emergence of a new H1N1 (Swine) flu virus. Scientists are concerned that the 2009 H1N1 virus may cause the season to be worse than a regular flu season – with a lot more people getting sick, being hospitalized and dying than during a regular flu season.

Get vaccinated

Vaccination is the best protection against contracting the flu. You need two vaccines to be fully protected this year. The seasonal flu vaccine and the H1N1 (Swine) flu vaccine are separate vaccinations. Get both! Get the seasonal vaccination as soon as possible and get the H1N1 (Swine) flu vaccination when it is available.

If you get sick with the flu…

Stay home, follow your doctor’s orders, and watch for signs that you need immediate medical attention. Remain at home for 7 days after your symptoms begin or until you have been symptom-free (no fever) for 24 hours, whichever is longer.
