    H1N1 Flu Prevention

    This flu season we're facing the seasonal flu - which causes about 36,000 deaths and 200,000 hospitalizations every year - and the 2009 H1N1 flu virus, a potentially more dangerous flu strain. The emergence of the 2009 H1N1 flu virus may cause this season to be worse than a regular flu season, with more people getting sick, being hospitalized and dying because their bodies are not able to fight off this strain of influenza.

    The H1N1 flu virus is contagious and spreads person-to-person the same way that seasonal influenza does. The virus has quickly spread worldwide and in June 2009 the World Health Organization declared a global H1N1 flu epidemic.

    While severity varies from mild to severe, children, young adults, pregnant women and 25-64 year olds with underlying health conditions (like asthma and diabetes) are more susceptible to falling ill to the H1N1 flu and are at higher risk for serious medical complications, including hospitalization and death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a three-step approach to fighting the flu: vaccination, everyday preventive actions including covering coughs, frequent hand washing, and staying home when sick, and the correct use of antiviral drugs if your doctor recommends them. The campaign features celebrity PSA's including Marc Anthony, Amy Ryan and Jackie Joyner provided by the White House. YouTube PSA's and Sesame Street's Elmo and Gordon who instruct children on easy ways to stay healthy, focusing on how they should properly wash their hands, avoid touching their mouth, eyes and nose, and sneeze into the bend of their arm. Parents and children can find more information on how to stay healthy and avoid the H1N1 flu at www.FLU.gov.
