Swine Flu Precaution

A new influenza virus began causing illness in people and spreading around the world in April 2009. Originally called “swine flu” because the virus genes were similar to some influenza viruses that infect pigs, the new virus has been named “novel H1N1.” 
Find out more about novel H1N1 and CDC’s public health response by visiting http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/.

This virus is spreading from person-to-person worldwide in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread.

If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, such as fever and cough, please contact the Student Health Center at 863-8876 or your doctor.
