Flu Season:
No doubt, this year, the flu is being billed as a major event. Not a day goes by that you can not read or see media coverage concerning the current and/or impending seriousness of 'the flu.'
We have all heard much discussion about 'the flu.' Is it the seasonal flu or is it H1N1? How do we know and what do we do? The answers to these and related questions may depend on who you are talking to. Much has been written on the subject and everyone must decide what is the best course of action for them and/or their families.
A couple of suggestions that have become somewhat universal is to be sure to wash your hands thoroughly and often, and stay at home when you are sick.
We have posted below a two-part packet containing several informative documents concerning 'the flu' for your review and use. I would urge you to review these documents and take the necessary precautions to do your part in protecting yourself, your family, and your co-workers.
