NEA Health Information Network: H1N1 Flu

The NEA Health Information Network recognizes that NEA members share the public concern about the projected resurgence of H1N1 Flu. Our goal is to provide you with accurate, timely, and practical resources that will allow you to successfully prepare for, and respond to, H1N1 and seasonal flu. NEA HIN continues to develop more detailed information for NEA leaders and members based on CDC and other federal guidance.

Currently, information can be found at the following sites:

The NEA HIN website www.neahin.org/h1n1, which is adding resources on a regular basis. Please visit the site to get the latest information.

Public health information at The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/general_info.htm
Additional information for schools can be found at The U.S. Department of Education http://www.ed.gov.
Questions specific to school concerns can be sent to osfds.safeschl@ed.gov.
The following link is for templates that may be helpful for sending communications regarding H1N1 to parents: http://www.flu.gov/plan/school/currentfluconditions.html
Local health departments are critical sources of information and decision making regarding control measures. Contact your local health department if you have any concerns or questions.

Updated information on continuing learning if schools are closed from the U.S Department of Education.
