H1N1 Flu Virus

Human cases of the 2009 H1N1 flu virus (initially known as swine flu) have been identified in Kansas as well as in additional states and internationally. This situation is of high concern for public health officials because it is a novel virus – one that we have never seen in humans before – so it is unlikely that anyone has a natural immunity to it.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment provides the following documents on its website will give you some direction in protecting your family from H1N1 and what to do if you or a family member does come down with the flu.

For more information, contact you local doctor or health clinic. Do not go to the emergency room unless directed to do so by you family doctor.
