Just the Facts: 2009 Influenza Season
There have been many headlines and public discussion about the upcoming flu season, particularly concern about the H1N1 influenza A, initially known as the swine flu. The situation is of high concern to public health officials because H1N1 influenza A is a novel virus – one that has not been seen in humans before – so it is unlikely that anyone has a natural immunity to it. H1N1 influenza has been confirmed in Kansas.
For updates about H1N1 and vaccination information through Stormont-Vail HealthCare and Cotton-O'Neil and PediatricCare Clinics, call the Stormont-Vail flu information line at (785) 354-6789. If you have questions about influenza or influenza-like symptoms and wish to speak to a nurse after regular office hours or weekend and holidays, call Health Connections at (785) 354-5225. During office hours, please contact your primary care physician.
