Centers for Disease Control & Prevention - H1N1 Flu
1. The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a fact
sheet entitled "Preventing the Flu: Good Health Habits can
Help Stop Germs. If you have announcements at school you may
want to share these tips as 'friendly reminders'. There are
several "printable" sheets in multiple languages that may be used
for dissemination.
